Anthony in NZ Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks guys Just at the moment I have a friend making me up some teeny tiny cockpit stenciling and placards. Once I get them and on the centre consul I will post pics. Cheers guys Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeakingPilot Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Anthony, Please tell me you're going to finish this build!! I need some serious inspiration for my BK project ;) Niek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi Niek, yes mate I am! But the weather is nice and I have been busy working down at the hangar on my Auster T7. It has been perfect weather for spraypainting the 2 pack paint I am using and don't want to miss such good opportunities. The BK is back off the shelf of doom and I did some more on her last month. Got some black/grey sprayed on some parts and got the stenciling on the centre consul. Not much but I plan on only working on stalled projects this year! I hope........

SeakingPilot Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You have no idea how happy I am to see you back here! Hope all goes well with your side project, let me know when you've got it in flying condition ;) How did you add all the switches to your instrument panel and consoles?

Rotorman Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 He brings a smile on my face to see an update on the BK. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If you ever need detail pictures of the BK we have eight at work I can access. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loach Driver Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Great work on the instrument panel. Flawless finish. LD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Oh wow, thanks guys!!! I appreciate all of your comments, it truly means a lot from each one of you. Niek the switches were done with stretched sprue and some are in the 'on' and some 'off' position as per pics. Like I say, I am busy at the hangar whilst the weather is playing ball, but rest assured the BK is getting some love again! Cheers and thanks again guys Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeakingPilot Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks Anthony, I'll give that a try myself once I've gathered enough courage to continue work on my BK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony in NZ Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Uh Oh........ They just took delivery of their new H-145!! (photo courtesy of the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust Facebook page) So I went and brought one of these... Hmmm, I think I might have gotten the drive finally to work on this Bk-117 again!
