maurizio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hi mates,seems like Photobucket is not working properly in these days. I'm not able to upload pictures so only one is available for this WIP. HEre is the left sponson witha modified profile and the 2 layers of plasticard in order toproperly match the fuselage solhouette keeping it vertically. The resin sponson has been perforated in order to reduce its weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 These could be the materials for the nose radar. A custom tooled sphere made of "delrin" (a plastic material) and made by a friend of mine in a workshop. The tubes are samples of woman parfumes. These materials are very very light.

maurizio Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Starting the interiors with stirene strips. I've found the the interior ribs are not perforated. Only a couple of them are and are located close the tail Edited August 27, 2015 by maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks mates! I'm now finishing some model kits in order to write some requested articles for a modelling magazine so I must let the Pelikan apart for some weeks, unfortunately. cheers Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 HI there, the only update is the care of the external surface of the fuselages. I've made a perfect smooth surface on the external fuselages using Gunze Liquid putty and grey Tamiya primer. I need a perfect surface for the rivetting job. I'm going to finish some kits in order to have enough space for the Pelikan inside my window. Thanks Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) I've modified the central consolle. It is not identical to the real chopper consolle but it will be invisible at the end so I can live with this mistake... Edited October 13, 2016 by maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Here is the radar nose. The black ball has been made by a colleague of mine and it is made of delrin, a plastic material quite similar to PVC but paintable. The cilinder is a parfum sample. Both have the correct dimension in 1/48 scale. Edited October 13, 2016 by maurizio forget the pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maurizio Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 As regards the APU exaust, I've decided to remake it from scratch using plasticard, CA glue and bicarbonate of sodium for a strong. I'm going to use my files for a long time in order to give the correct shape of this part!!! Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
