Tomas Duck Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi guys, engine compartment is finally done at 99% (some small PE parts missing and I will do some oil leaks). Because I working on this about 3 months I really need some change 😊 Next step will be a gun bays. Thanks for watching 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 ...and one top view.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Gun bays. I have complete right bay with guns and cables connected firing solenoids and heating plates. PE Parts are Eduard again. Some small PE parts isn´t still on position, will be glued after insertion to the wing Guns not glued now, only cables and side walls. Guns and bays will be painted separately, it´s to small for any show 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Wow! Incredible details on the guns! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 Hi guys, right gun bay is practically finished, only small details are missing, these will be added only after mounting in the wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi guys, step by step, slowly to the finish line :-) Not yet, I know... But, I have done both gun bays and glued together with wings. I had to replace twisted heating cables because I wasn´t satisfied with this. Parallel cables are better. I made also guns covers from Eduard PE (yes, I used lot of debonder :-) ). Wings aren´t glued to the fuselage, only for check and photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 ...and here is the top and bottom view with the wing attached. Thanks for watching! 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi guys, on the lower side of engine firewall which is part of wings is fuel strainer and engine drain box. I made it and prepare connection rods for hydraulic and fuel tubes. This units are still visible on the model lower side, but this is maximum which I can able put on this small space.

MA Cooke Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm just seeing this for the first time. This is your SECOND model - as in "second model ever"? Wow. This P-51 is STUNNING so far. Amazing work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Stunning! I expect this build to taxi and take off under its own power! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomas Duck Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hallo guys! I´m very sorry for my very long absence. Enchantress is in "sleeping mode" now, because I have a lot of problems with NMF, I'm still looking for the optimal way to do it. I have actual pic from lower side of engine, where they are finished tubes and his connection to fuel, cooling and oil system. I also have a complete propeller. So, Enchantress is little bit out of production plant, I actually working on P-40E (Adellon Clinger plane), next step will be probably B-25 (both 1/32) with NMF surface - it will be a nice training - and back to the "E" - I hope 😊 Many thanks for the positive comments!
