More to show...

I did not beleave that the landing gear would take this long to finish-gads, it never ends! I narrowed up the Monogram A-26 wheels, and they look fantastic. The gear doors are on; however, the lowest one is not right... I sticks out too far and hangs too low. Not an easy fix either. Oh well. I may cut down the attachment brace and make a new one from plastic stock because of the 'flip' at the end near the leg knuckle/top. I also made all the attachment braces that hold the lower gear doors one the real thing.

I also, against my better judgement put on the wing floats, as they did not fit as well as I would like. They are pinned and stout-I accidentally drilled through the wing, so the glue was applied from the top, and I got a fantastic glue joint, if not some redo work on top of the wing.

I also have to eat some of my rant from a few posts back... I found beautiful resin doors for the oil coolers in the bag. In my defense the instructions are so bad that they don't even show them, but I didn't look very close either-or rather I did, but at the time did not recognize them. I put them on, as I felt they were better than mine after the second time being repaired adn reattached.

All the sanding is finished and I touched up some of the panel lines that I didn't like. Need to prime a couple of new spots, but I think I should have color on by the weekend.

I need to reattach the nose gear-super glue is not liking the white metal RVHP used-doesn't stick very well...

Cheers

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 WWI Aircraft Kits.

  1. This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

  2. Build as many kits as you like.

  3. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  4. Any markings are acceptable.

  5. 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.
