As one very sexy orange haired lady once said in a film. "It's gotta big badda boom"...... hint "Multi-pass"

Not too much happening at the moment. Just been sanding away detail so i can add the Eduard cockpit instrument PE. Painted some parts will dull aluminium so that i can add a chipping medium and create some chips when painted.



Also scratch built a small cylinder for the forward bulkhead so i can add some instrument panel pipework later on. Still have to add the cylinder clips which i'll recreate out of flattened lead wire. The rear of the instrument panel is visible when fitted. 0.3mm holes were drilled in the rear of some of the instruments so i can add wire later on. This is roughly what i'm trying to recreate.

Looking good Al!

Nice start. Like the pipe work idea, it’s the little extras that make a build your own……

The cylinder is just made from an offcut of sprue. As you say. It's the little details but i'll know they are there

Nice bit of detailing, in that scale it really benefits the final look.

Alan. Will follow with interest.

[Ian M]

Nice! Looking forward to this one Al.

Will be a slight delay with posting more pics on here. My laptop went bang last weekend and i now have a Chromebook to replace it. Problem is that it doesn't accept my camera SD card (too big). So i am awaiting an USB converter so i can post updates.

Sorry to hear that Al.

Sorry to hear that Al.

It just means a load of update photos to post when i get it. Been doing some more scratch building in the cockpit. Haven't even got to the proposed engine and undercarriage bay scratch builds yet lol

[Tim Marlow]

Looking forward to the updates Alan. I don’t know what ports the chrome book has, but could you upload pictures to your chrome book using a USB cable?

My digi camera is quite old and doesn't have those new fangled things lol

[Tim Marlow]

Oh well, worth a shout……and no matter what reader you get someone will make the memory card smaller and more awkward so you have to get yet another one…..
I liked compact flash, which my last camera took. They were tough and well made, and large enough to be handled with cold hands….then they moved to SD cards, which my current camera takes….small, flimsy, and not particularly easy to handle……now they’ve gone to micro SD….sneeze and you’ll never see it again……
