discussion Papa695s Airfix 1/72 Vickers Wellington Mk.1A/C

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Yes there’s glazing over that part,they did have some kind of cover on the inside to cover it if needed.

The Wellington was constructed using a very strong Geodetic airframe, so there were no gaps such as you might find on conventional monocoque/semi monocoque frames. So you can see the geodetic structure through the glazing.

Cheers guys. I didn't realise it had glazing over those areas.

Sorry I’ve not been working on this one as much as I should, but I’m now at the point of making any fitting the turrets, also to mask up all the glassed areas.
I would also like to thank Tony ( Yak face ) for supplying me with the speaker wires I need to finish the electric’s.

 

[Geoffers]

Just catching up with your build Ian, it looks like it’s coming on a treat

The interior look great, shame most of its hidden but you had the fun of building it.

I’m looking forward to seeing the electrics in operation

Geoff.

The Wellington is coming together nicely Ian

 

[papa 695]

This is now ready for some primer. Just got to wait for the PVA glue to dry on the bomb bay doors.

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Great work Ian. It must be a worry working on the model having had to fit those guns and turrets.

 

[Jim R]

Looking superb. This is heading to be a real stunner.

Thanks Steve, it is a little worrying, but hopefully it should be ok.

 

[papa 695]

Got this all primed now, just a little seam to sort out.

Looking good mate.

The waffle structure of the wings and tail really stands out with the primer now. Looking good,

Cheers Neil, and yes it really does, I just hope it’s the same when I finish putting all the paint on.
