Thanks Guys
Finishing touches added to the engine, exhaust stacks now in place.

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Vaughan. Those exhausts bring back memories - I banged my head on one once, when straightening up after reaching for the earthing wire when re-fuelling the darned thing!

 

[Crimea_River]

Maaaahvelous!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Just beautiful.

 

[Wurger]

[Gnomey]

Thanks Guys
Looks like I'm going to off the scene for at least a week as have had a steroid injection in my left elbow('tennis elbow' although I can honestly say I've never played tennis) I had the other elbow operated on a few years back and that seemed to sort it out. I've got one more injection that I can have, if that doesn't work it could be another op.

 

[Airframes]

Take it easy then Vaughan, otherwise the injection won't do it's job. I have to go into the hangar tomorrow morning, to have a steroid injection under the right shoulder - again!
The bl**dy needle is about six inches long, and goes right up under the bone! But at least I might get some relief from the pain and discomfort!

 

[Vaughan]

Wow that sounds painful Terry, hope all goes well. The pain for me is that not only can I not do any of my modelling I can't do any of my Swing Dancing and I've got a dance coming up on Sunday. So fingers crossed my arms rested enough.

 

[Airframes]

Just don't dance on your arms!

 

[Crimea_River]

Take care Vaughan. The model can wait.

 

[Vaughan]

Thanks Guys
The pain is starting to ease. My doctor said that the pain would be worse for the first 24 hours and he wasn't kidding, maybe by the w/e I might think about picking up the model again.

Sorry to hear about your woe's Vaughan, had what they call golfers elbow a while back and it played havoc with the modelling. No I don't play golf.

Hope you can get back to the build, it's looking very good, and like the others, those clamps look real cool.

 

[Gerry]

Really nice work to date Vaughn. I hope that your ailment doesn't slow you down too much.

Kind regards,

Gerry

How did I miss this????? Or did I???? I dunno.

Question: The wiring on the engine, solder wire?
Like so many in here, a lot of food for thought in your builds Vaughan

 

[Vaughan]

Hi Bill
the wire I use is lead wire from my local model shop comes in different gauges. Martin things are on the mend maybe some modelling at the w/e.

 

[Airframes]

Vaughan, grab as much of the Plus Model wire as you can, as I think the general import has been stopped. My local model shop, and an on-line place I normally use, can't get a hold of it at the moment. I found a couple of places who have limited stock, so grabbed some more, and I think one of the 'places' is a Czech individual who 'imports' it himself. I sent some to Wayne over a week ago, but don't think he's received it yet and I'm hoping it hasn't been impounded, being lead.

 

[Crimea_River]

I got mine here: UMM-USA and they shipped it from US to Canada but you can't buy the stuff here.
