As mentioned in the post above, I do everything 2 or 3 times and that still gives me a deja vu feeling every time you read my updates, not only a bit frustrating for you, but sometimes for me too. Although I do have a plan and steps in my head, sometimes it is not possible to keep something or to improve it because the previous version is not good, breaks down or whatever.
Like the next piece
I had now largely made the control for the rudder from printed parts, but I noticed that this is not strong enough after all and I did it again
Like it was
and how it is now
This works just a little smoother and yes, you miss the lever for the trim mechanism, me too, because I only see it now
But then..........I had been struggling with it for a few days, because I didn't know how to do it.........namely the rudder put on the rear wing. This is originally attached to the BH7with a kind of luxury pin/hole connection and is then further secured with adjustable rods, with which you can adjust the angle of the rear wing.
At some point it's a question of "death or the gladiolus" and I just started stupid, see where the ship strands
Well, that was not easy, but with the 1st adjusting rod it is kind of stable, the rod is still loose on the axle in the front (that copper wire that you see sticking out)
It was a bit of work, loosened it a few times because it was not aligned properly, still not, but the resin remains a bit bulged, even after a few treatments, yep......... I'm afraid that's going to be a deja vu moment
The upper bars are attached to the hinges at the back but not yet in the front, they are not yet in the bottom either, because I also have to fumble a mudguard in and I have to make that first. In the previous attempt I had done this by sticking a couple of plates together and then sanding, but because the fender is fairly square, but made a kind of box, also the lower stabilizing bars, here the fender will eventually hang in.
This picture could be in the motocycles area as a front fender for a Harley
But with some sanding and fruts I made a fairly similar copy of it
And when we dry-fit it in the wing, it turns out to look very attractive
and take a look under the skirt
Unfortunately, with this hassle the adjusting mechanism at the rear of the wing has broken loose, where the rods of the elevators and the control for the trim tabs run
But, what do I have now and what does that look like?
For a rough reference I had the Revell kit at home at the time and put the hull on the table with the parts included.
So tailpiece, Frames 5 4n 4 and the cockpit. There is still a lot to do and I thought at the beginning that I could accomplish this in a year
