Hi all……long time no update. The reason being, first gig of the new band is looming a bit big in the window, so time is a little limited, and continual niggles in the fit of parts has drained the mojo slightly. Still, progress has been made….
Interior is in, and the second side will be added soon…..
As you can see, there’s a lot going on in here. Fit of parts is very good, but leaves absolutely no room for error. I have therefore spent quite a lot of time scraping out locating slots and tabs to get a decent slightly easy fit for the painted parts. This hasn’t been helped by the Eduard parts all being slightly oversized so interfering with the main part fit. A case in point is the scar on the left side of the fuselage……followed the Eduard instructions and fitted a control board here as indicated, then found during dry fitting that this was already fitted on the cockpit floor…..
All sorted now though…..I hope….the truth will come to light when the second side is fitted…..
As not much will be seen again, here are the detail shots….
Cockpit…the fire wall back won’t be seen, There is a fuselage fillet to be fitted above the IP.
Turret…glass goes on after painting (I hope). Excellent fifty cal barrel courtesy of young Andy…..it’s all fixed in place as I don’t really like moveable parts on my models.
Bomb Aimer and stinger gun position…
Poor bloke must have been bounced all over the place….no belts in images that I could find….
Bomb bay….this will have the torpedo fitted later….
All good fun…wait for the swearing as I try to line that lot up with the other fuselage half….
