The new bits'n'pieces from Arsenal...

the canopy section looks especially nice....will require a little sanding but it is REAL close to just dropping into place!

The racks and bombs look pretty good with a little clean up required...

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nice delivery Wayne

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Vic, don't know why i didn't do it sooner...

Parts look good Wayne, and the difference between the vacform canopy and the new one is striking.... It woulda been a shame to use that vacform one on this work of pristine accuracy...

Glad u bit the bullet man and got the new one...

 

[Airframes]

Sure looks good, and it's made me happy - it confirms I got it right when I moulded one for a 1/48th scale model !

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks fellas...will do some work on getting the fit right today so I can get to masking it...

 

[Wayne Little]

Spent nearly 2 hours today dryfitting and sanding the new canopy section to get the fit right, tiny bit at a time....check the fit, sand and repeat, repeat, repeat...must have done it 50 times??
But I think it is ready to mask...starting tomorrow!!

 

[Airframes]

Sounds good mate, and worth all the extra effort after the build so far !

Practice and patience make perfect................that's what I keep telling myself..............sometimes it works!!!!!!

 

[A4K]

Great stuff wayne, keep it coming mate!

 

[Wayne Little]

Well didn't get enough time to get to the canopy today so I cleaned up the bomb rack pieces and placed each set together to check the fit.....

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice but the second one from the left seems to have a little dent along the edge at 5 o'clock. Not that I'd care on one of my kits but your's is perfect in every way so far.

EDIT - OK just noticed that the one next to it seems to have it mirrored. Must be correct. Sorry, I will crawl back under my rock now.

 

[Wayne Little]

You are right Andy, they do have small indents...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Dam they look purty!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Making progress..........!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Making progress..........!!

Sure Am!!

Made some progress on the rear canopy masking......

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice Wayne. Do you precut the tape or cut it once stuck down?

 

[Airframes]

Same question from me ! I generally do a mix of both, and with my hands, hope for the best !
