Tomas Duck Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thanks guys! Right side of fuselage is painted on basic colours, waiting for decals and finally wash and oils. On matt electronic boxes are scratches by aluminium and normal HB pencil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's one thing to understand, but entirely different being able to execute these details at this level and presentation... amazing work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi guys, right side of cockpit is completely done. Work with Barracuda decals was sometime hell, but finally looks good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gonzales Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Stunning work Tomas. Really enjoy your progress pictures. Robert Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Underdog Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 TD, The cockpit is absolutely stunning, its a shame some of the detailing won't be seen when the model is completed. Maybe someday, building a model undergoing some heavy maintenance - with a lot of panels removed, might be a worthwhile project to consider. Truly amazing work being accomplished so far!!!

Tomas Duck Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thank you guys! The truth is that one of my next projekts will be F4U-1D on assembly line. There are nice photos from LIFE magazin, I have a Tamyia 1/32 and I´m thinking about composition. But it will be a next time 😉. Now I´m working on radiators section, this is a simple, no a pipes and wires... 😃 Ok, one tube is added, it´s input for cockpit air heating. It´s short tube on first photo.

Tomas Duck Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi guys, some progress on left side engine frame. As ussually I use some Eduard PE ( support battery frame, covers lock etc.). On the frame top side is vacuum restrictor on tube from daschboard to engine vacuum pump. On real plane is front part of frame open U profile, but I hope that this solution is ok. Beside tube is rod for propeler adjustment - only upper part now, second will be add after cockpit finishing, because I can easily destroy it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Underdog Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 TD, Very nice indeed, it's the little details that makes a model truly spectacular. And this one is right up there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gonzales Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I copy The Underdog. Really like the little step approach showing the adding of detail. Just curios if you can give some details on sets You use from Eduard, they seem to be very useful. Keep posting the outstanding progress you make. Looking forward to your next post.

Tomas Duck Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi guys, I´m back on the world 😊 I have finished left side of fuselage, finally dry test looks good. In this moment there isn´t throthle lever armature, because it is higher then cocpit cover and must be placed after gluing left side of fuselage. As in right side there are a Barracuda decals. Of course, I managed to break a lot of details, but that's life 😉 . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hi guys, finally, I closed fuselage, it´s big day 😃 Now I´m ready to install Packard´s beauty and lot of tubes and cables from firewall to the engine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomas Duck Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi, next small step, I did new glass jar which is used in battery ventilation system to absorbing acid fumes from battery box. I also working on main power wires from battery to ground and to the disconnect solenoid. Finally I prepare ventilation inlet from left side of fuselage to the battery box and engine is done! 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
