ThatJeffGuy Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's 'Dora time' If I get off my butt/Internet and finish the Uhu I might get mine started....still waiting on the hatches shipped on November 1st.....two weeks is nothing with the border crossing. My wife works in the US every week but she's all over the place. I could get stuff shipped to her office and she could carry it back......but then she would know all the stuff I'm buying online Looking forward to the pics Jay.....don't hold your breath on the weather though...it's not looking good here until tomorrow and even then it's partly-sunny.

jrallman Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 yeah, i just checked and it looks cloudy and rainy all week long, so I will take some indoor pics tonight, and if I get a nice day in the future, I will take some outdoor pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 Well, here she is. All finished and good to go. This was an enjoyable build and a great start to the GB! Comments and questions are certainly welcome. Mike, grab your favorite pics for the website. Next for the GB comes the Dora. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dragonfly Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Allright Jay!! that came out great! i love the weathering. Great work masking the canopy. Stunning! Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Kethan Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Jay, That is really, really nice. Almost makes me want to move mine up the to-do list! That finish is superb, and I like the way the exhaust staining came out. Very convincing. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted November 15, 2006 Author Share Posted November 15, 2006 thanks again guys. Chris, I am pretty happy with the exhaust staining as well since this was the first time I tried it this way. Overall it was a nice kit. Not quite a Tamigawa level of shake and bake kit, but nothing more than some dry fitting and sanding and some filling on the wing tips. For a bigger plane like this, it was thankfully free of issues!

David Walker Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Incredible work. Your paint job and attention to detail are amazing. I may have missed it, but were the ailerons hydraulically powered, leading them both to droop at rest? I've never seen that on a WWII era aircraft though I've seen it on modern aircraft.

jrallman Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Dave - no, the dropped ailerons were done just to add a little visual appeal more than accuracy, unless the controls were left in that position, which is the story I am going with! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Wow, came out abosolutely beautiful, Jay! :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
