Leave It To Beaver

Well the top wing is done. This is completely scratch built.



The actual kit wing will be cut down and used for the engine support. I will then have to make some cross bracing etc.

Then comes the tail planes.  I am not sure whether to go for twin ruddders or one big rudder assembly.  I will have to check references and see some various designs to see which would fit.

Another shot

The people have spoken and a gondola was made.

This has been cobbled together from three different transperencies.  It needs some finishing off but essentially it is done. I even have guns to put in it.

This is the most fun I have had for awhile and I guess that is the point.

Well, I was hoping for a separate, hanging gondola, but thats pretty cool nevertheless  B)

You mean a "dustbin" turret Nev

Looking reall "Gaulic" Sisko

Incredible work, I'm hooked.

This is just crying-out for Vatican Air Force markings... perhaps from the Assisi Bomb Group - with a large 'Dove of Peace' on the fuselage sides..... I'll get me coat (of many colours   ).

Well I was sanding away, cleaning up one of the wing joins and I broke off the other wing.

Sooooooooooooooo I have had to glue it back on which has put me behind.

I guess it wil be some time before an update because now I am going away to Western Australia and I can't really take this one with me.

Ciao

Arrrrrgggh! I feel your pain Sisco, I had an Airfix 1/48 Spit Vc that I cracked the wing joint on three times, & in a minor way another two.  Nearly gave it up, but I did actually finish that one!  Not a bad kit, like most Airfix kits needs a lot of work, but the wing joint is a b*stard.

Hope it works it out, I'm looking forward to more pics!

Sisko, this has such a classic shape, you've really outdone yourself!

Hi guys I'm back on the bench again. Well for a day at least.

But I managed to get some stuff done.

When I checked my model after sitting on the bench for a week the clear parts seemed to have been affected by something, as they have gone all milky and crazed.  

Nothing I can do about it so this is now a desk top model. the clear parts will get painted silver.

I have cleaned up all the joints and given a it a coat of primer. Still some ways to go but I am steadily making progress.

Man I will really need to build a slammer kit after this one! :dum:  

[Sisko]

Well it's finally time for some photo updates.

While a long way from being finished it is proving to be a challange and fun at the same time.

[Sisko]

Look it's got spats!!!!!!

[Sisko]

Last one.

I have to build the tail piece yet I am thinking of a single tail plane with twin rudders.

I will then have to paint it and mount it like a desk top model.

[The Rat]

That's looking so good it should be illegal!    

[John Howling Mouse]

Wow, extremely unique in such a cool way----this will look sooooo good on your shelf!

Did you use CA glue for the clear bits that went milky?
