Hi Dave i'm toying with the idea of having the wings in the folded position. But not having much luck with finding good photo's with them open. I may just have to wing it ( pardon the pun )

 

[papa 695]

Got all the wings painted View attachment 64620 View attachment 64621 View attachment 64622 View attachment 64623

And the engines painted View attachment 64624 View attachment 64625 View attachment 64626 They need the exhausts and props putting on and a little more weathering

Just got caught up, and it's coming along nicely Ian. That big bomb looks very "steam punk" with the big rivets.

Tony.

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Ian. Thi sis going to be great when finished. I found somne photos in a search for 'Handley Page O/400 folded wings' but I can see that it is difficult to get any detail shots of the mechanisms.

 

[john i am]

Right now onto the wings View attachment 64675 View attachment 64676 There the pictures I have of them folded back.

so I started by cutting the tabs off and putting them into the holes to fill them up View attachment 64677 View attachment 64678 I'm assuming that when folded back the wings fold up a little like a fan, so I cut the corners off all the wing ends View attachment 64679 View attachment 64680 View attachment 64681 I will put a little fold at this point when all glued together to make it look like the fan effect ,if you can understand what I'm trying to say
