Thanks Scottie, Jim and Richard, glad you like it and I'm a great fan of using stuff around the house a habit I haven't lost since pre Catchpole days...was that his name?
A bit more done to the mesh with internal framework and latch bracing added.
Cheers,
Wabble
Really nice scratching mate
Thanks Mick, seriously if you take away the mesh it will look like a simple scratched framework and some putty.
Cheers,
Wabble
Pure genius! Excellent improvisation Richard.
So, visiting Hendon today, not far from their Belvedere, is this sign and caption:
Thanks Doug, not a genius but a little tinkering here and there will hopefully make something of an old kit like the Belvedere.
Thanks for that Chris, I've heard it being called that. I've never been in a Longhouse before but I think it's not that different from a row of terrace houses with the front road as the communal gathering platform with a huge roof over and on stilts.
Often wondered what that prob on the front is for? Too short for air refueling.
Cheers,
Wabble
Started on the rear second extended engine bay mesh frame. This will be a challenge to fit the mesh as the shape of the frame is angular and has a slant from front to back. I would start the straight direction of the mesh from the center and spread it to the sides. Here's a pic of it with the other mesh bay upturned to show the inside...

Wabble

A great sacrifice of the razor head Wabble , photo proof of your beard will be required .
Oh, by the way Matron was last seen looking for her midge net and far east clothing . Stand by for that slap .:smiling3:

Great attention to detail Richard.
Thanks Guys,
Today I forgot to bring the razor mesh over to the LHS but I progressed a little with some weathering of the interior and painting the seats, exhaust pipes before closing up the halves. Here are some initial piccies...
And then I drilled another hole to make a vent here...

Enjoyable watching the Belvedere progress, keep up the excellent work Richard.
Wabble,
what he said.
what he said.
I concur
Ditto!!
Why use lots of words when one will do?!?!
In all seriousness Richard, having been away, I have just had a catch up. As always simply outstanding work. The razor mesh is brilliant!
Keep up the excellent work!!
Andrew
Thanks Doug, Scottie, Chris and Andrew, I'll definitely keep up the good work when I can and what a catch up with 14 replies.
After getting home I continued with the build and made this progress...
Painted the cockpit seats.
Glued the fuselage together.
Plugged the vent.
And continued with the rear extended engine bay frame with putty and the first half of the mesh.
Cheers,
Wabble
Looking very good again Richard!
