AMEGB Short Stirling V pt3 July 28 2012 at 9:06 PM		(Login fredcoulson) HyperScale Forums from IP address 120.148.74.119


Just finishing of the cockpit (coupe) of the Stirling. In the end it involved a lot more work than I expected due mainly to the seats. Strangely enough it was finding information on the navigator seat that was the hardest. Also finished the undercarriage bays on both wings. So just some small fixes and I should be able to join the two fuselage halves, and add the resin nose and tail end. The I can commence the re-scribing of some basic panels. Cheers for now Fred

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix, Frog and Matchbox kits.

Build as many kits as you like

Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

Any markings are acceptable.

Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
