A high level finale: OR330 and the Avro 730

[kitnut617]

I got my BSP book out to see what the differences are between the two 730 versions, I'll have to read it again because I couldn't find a length but did find that the later version was to have a 24" wider fuselage.  So that and the shorter length Simon has said would change the fuselage shape quite a bit and I can see why Duncan has dibbed on doing the first version.   

Incidently, the later version would have had the same diameter fusealge as the Vulcan -- at least at it's widest point

Robert, dimensions for early & late Avro 730:

Span:              Early 59'9"/18.2m      Late 65'7"/20.0m
Length:            Early 163'6"/49.8m    Late 159'0"/48.5m
Max Diameter:   Early 7'6"/2.29m       Late 9'4"/2.85m

Thanks for that Simon, I'm going to see if I can draw up the late 730 fuselage shape.  For the wings I'll have a look at the Bristol 188 I have (BSP says they were very similar) and see if they're just a straight 'scale-up'

keep on the job looking like a winner

Now this is getting interesting Duncan, well done for persevering with the fuselage, it's looking good

congratulations for a great work, a great effort, I will continue this thread

Looks like you were building a boat there at one stage Duncan! 

Pretty darned impressive, and that all that Milliput must have generated a few tons of sanding particles!

[Hobbes]

Well done Duncan. It's a pity that the planking idea didn't work out. Maybe thicker planks (or lengths of sprue if need be) would work better?

[Mossie]

Well done mate, it's looking good & kudos for sticking to your guns!  I'd probably have ditched it when my first attempt failed.

For future, I remember a few here mentioning Aves Apoxies Sculpt for gratuitous PSR working much better than Milliput.

You deserve a medal mate or at least a cup of tea at Telford

I'll hold you to that offer of a cuppa Chris, provided I get it finished for Telford! 



Duncan

Hmm drinking the tea at the T I C is more like a punishment than a reward lol

[Martin H]

LOL very true.

[JayBee]

I wonder if too much grey component makes it go really hard? 

Too much information Duncan

Think I'd have given up while I was still looking at the plans.....

Awesome project Dunc....
