Slider CRO Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 I love matchbox there're maybe crude with trench style panel lines, but in 99% are accurate in dimensions and shape...and lack of interior isn't problem for me :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slider CRO Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) the must funny part - putting all those stuff in hull I knoww it all looks messy, but this is macro mod on camera I've putt bollards on bow , anchor and all the things in front my favourite part - look below the pilots seat - signal rocket 0,5mm diametar and 1,5 mm signal pistol and finished back part more work required on left side - navigator's and radio man's offices...

Slider CRO Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 closing the navigator's office and navigator's desk table with map, triangle and ruler fill the radio equipment and closing the hull than I make the jig and glued the lover wing to place...and now it starts to look like an airplane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slider CRO Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 since the original indercarriage are very fragile, I was modified them with 0.5 mm bras wire , and ad a ''locker'' that is missing modified wheels - I made pneumatic valves and centar cover after painting turret gun guides than I made oil cooler and oil tank paint it and maunting a net and all put in engine nacelle than I paint propeller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slider CRO Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) crossing the magic line - 2000 parts... original canopy is to thick, so I must make my own ...first - frame upper and side slide panels and vacuformed windshield vith oper smal windows than turn to lover side - practice bomb's racks (the main plate is 5x8 mm) anti-submarine bomb racks gun mounts than, I've mounted the floats,rigging and bomb racks and, beside the undercarriage, the lover side is finished!

Slider CRO Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) the saga goes closely to an end... I've maunted the windshield, side and uper panels, mirror and window stands finished nacelle ribs I've put the bras pins in all nacelle struts and mounted the nacelle then I glued the bottom cover opened and make the strut rigging engine nacelle must have offset to left, resulted differebt upper struts then I've glued outer struts and vertical jig guides, so that I can glue upper wing in right position well, 50 more parts, and it will be finished....
