Philou Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hello, all Here is my scratch-building. I decided to supplement and modify the model in the cockpit, wings, tails, and engine. And more... Perhaps. First, the fuselage : The details are made from plastic card and sheet aluminum for the structure, and wire to the cabane (not painted yet) The fuel tanks and oil are foil wrapped on a balsa form. There was also a bit of sprue and copper wire. The painting of the cockpit is duck egg blue, and it is a mistake that I noticed too late. This should have been green cockpit. It will be for next time. That all for the moment. Cheers, Philippe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Philou Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hello, all Here is the result of the construction. The ailerons and flaps have been cut, and I am in process hinges. They are functional. Unfortunately, I did not find any pictures or drawings of the aileron hinges, so I'll try to make the most lifelike as possible. Anyone can help me? Thanks, Philippe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Philou Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks all! I can see it will be my last pics for this year. Here they are : The instrument panel (not finished), and the landing light glasses The rudder and stabilizer. Sanded and re-written. That all for this year. I hope present you the finished model for the next Matchbox Madness. Bye! Philippe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
