The various assemblies are now in the fuselage half ............... I've dry fitted the two halves together and they are a good tight fit. The seams seem to align perfectly so I don't think we are going to be filling much if any......... Alve already painted the nose and applied the decal, two coats of matt. As that would be impossible to paint once the fuselage is together....... I have a card tube that'll slide over it to mask it when I prime and paint............ Now I know there is plenty of room for a nose weight I can do that then button it up.

ooh, good idea on the cone - wait, I use a brush! Still, better to paint the cone and put the decal on before fitting... You can put the weight in the cone too by the looks of it.


That cockpit is looking excellent and after spending what seems like the last 6 weekends doing anything but models, it's football season kick-off and I am going to embed myself in the man-cave - my wife is going to need a large pry bar to get me out of it Grrr - well so long as she doesn't see this :rolleyes:

1st stage of the cockpit is done. Not much to it.............. The PE for the instruments behaved itself, so I'm quite happy with the result............... The side instrument/control panels are the next assembly and fit into the fuselage sides rather than the cockpit floor. ........ If I could take a decent photo I'd be even happier.

Is that it, all that moaning for 3 bits of plastic :) :) :D :D and a bit of black paint. Seriously its looking good chap, crack on - watching this one
 
I like the stenciling on the green nose cone. A nice but subtle contrast between the red and dark green. Nice work there. I would like to see how the fuselage goes together and how much of the pit can be seen in the end.


Just an odd thought - can you pack the actual hollow of the nose cone with the weight powder stuff and leave it? technically, you will need less weight if you go more forward, which is what the nose cone is-the most forward part of the aircraft

I fear there isn't going to be much on show one it's buttoned up, unless you peer in closely ........ As for the weight I thought maybe just shoving some Miliput in there would be heavy enough?

yeah-you're probably right- but I always like to be on the safe side and chuck in as much as I can without breaking the undercarriage!:confused:
 
Hope I haven't missed the band wagon Peter, only just seen this, through Neil's link on his cricket comments post. That cockpit looks fantastic and so does the rest so far. I take it that it isn't an ejector seat? Kami kazie pilots don't need them anyway. :eek:


Anyway, I'm on board with this now. Keep up the good work.

.......and now I have a question???? I hope someone can answer. On the underside inboard wings there are two lights.The kit supplies two masks which are on and I need to paint from behind before I apply the paint for the undercarriage wells. So, the question these two lights. Would the be floods of some kind or underside navigation lights ???? .......... My gut feellng is that they are flood lights to aid underside inspection / arming ......... But I really don't know.
