aircraft Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Again I cut the bottom fuselage on nose landing gear area and main landing gear areas. Amazing at the details of aires resin parts! But main landing gear bays bent with red box :bandhead2:/> I gave up cutting the langing gear bay and only cut the wheel bay for replacing,because of I am afraid it will damage intensity of fuselage but also bent landing gaer bay.I only cut some details and build them on original plastic plate...

rom Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hi! nice package and good work so far! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikosmeta Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Nice work. Just put the resin in hot water and bend them straight. It is very easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Fantastic looking wheel bay. I 2nd what niko says. The resin will soften enough if you put it in some really hot water. Understandable about not wanting to damage main fuselage plastic and really like your plan of placing parts from resin wheel well onto plastic. Keep up the good work!

Understandable about not wanting to damage main fuselage plastic and really like your plan of placing parts from resin wheel well onto plastic. Keep up the good work! Please take a look at this picture... IF using the main landing gear bays ,I must cut the red areas as instructions and yellow areas maintain the linkage between fuselage and wings only.I worry about the remained plastic panel is too weak .It's difficult for me to decide cut or not,in view of keep the fuselage stronge I chooes giving up. Thanks for the ways you gave me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the ways you gave me. :worship:/> That's an understandable concern especially with the cost of kits these days. I say live to fight another day. As I said before I like that you are at least taking the parts that will spruce up the kit wheel well and placing them onto the kit. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Lots of goodies there! Remember that the upper part of the fuselage will give strength and stability even if you'd have cut the lower fuselage. Fantastic progress :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircraft Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Again It's so difficult for eduard PE building .The colorized coating cracked and fell off when bent the PE especially. I used resin parts cockpit and seat from aires,instrument panel and safety belts from eduard PE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gregax Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Good start and good luck. I am building the same kit with almost the same amount of aftermarket, so i know what awaits You. Don't cut the fuselage as you have already cut the resin parts because of warpage. Just add some copper wires to add detail. Sorry if I post the photo of my wheelbays during construction. I will delete them upon Your request. This is what You will have to do if You decide to cut the lower fuselage. Brass struts are glued along the lenght of the wing to straighten them as they are bent OOB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircraft Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 hi guys: I completed the cockpit yesterday and took these pics from iphone. I don't know what the red wire on the RH control panel is and i don't know the function of this device too.Just add the copper wire colored red followed the cockpit pics downloaded from internet. :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya-gabor Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I don't know what the red wire on the RH control panel is and i don't know the function of this device too.Just add the copper wire colored red followed the cockpit pics downloaded from internet. :wacko:/> The „red device” is the safety Remove Before Flight line which connects all the different safety pins just to make sure that non are left inside before flight. The red handle on the left of the photo is the canopy manual jettison handle which also has a safety pin installed on the ground. It is good to see that someone is taking the time and patience to add these essential parts to their kit! This way it is authentic representation of an aircraft on the ground! One comment, the grip on the throttle is a dark grey colour (in most cases) and not red. Sometimes a red locking device is attached to the sliding part of the throttle to make sure that no one would steal the aircraft. It may sound a bit strange but it is true.

I'm afraid you should ues sand paper to lower the height of wheel bay because of you can't put the two fueslage together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aircraft Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Again Refering the Su-27 pictures in airshow we can find out some different configurations about pylons installtion.So I decided to use magnets. Drilled holes on pylons and inside of bottom wings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Magnets!! Brilliant idea. Love it. Great work mate. Looking forward to seeing more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircraft Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hi guys, Here comes the landing gear modification works. Replaced some parts with Eduard resin and PE and rebuilt the wires and pipeline clamp with sealing-tap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircraft Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) hi everyone: That's my next step.I want to install navigation lights on both side of wing tip and LH vertical stabilizer.Also install taking-off light and taxi light on nose landing gear and anti-collision light on tail cone. It is just a drawing by hand.I hope I can complete it. Edited May 3, 2016 by aircraft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
