Very nice as expected Paul, any luck with those missing bits yet, if you find my handle while your looking :nerd:

No luck mate, so will have to try and scratch something.

A small update more to check I am posting things correctly. The hull halves are now together just a little filler required.

That join looks good. I hate it when long joins, especially fuselage halves, don't behave.

 

[scottie3158]

Jim, thanks mate I am surprised as location points on this kit do leave a bit to be desired.

Hi All,
I have been slowly plodding away. I have replaced the stowage locker on top of the engine cover with a brass replacement. The kit one just looked to neat and precise, I wanted to show it dented from the crew walking on it.

|Next was the front mudguard. I made a new one out of brass to replace the kit part as I wanted to show a bit of a dent.

Very nice Scottie, I like the damaged fender

 

[HAWKERHUNTER]

This is going to be some model when completed Paul. Great work so far.

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks guys for the great feedback.

I am struggling with the mojo for this build. I have been trying to add details but they are fighting me all the way. Possibly because some of the bins are not square but a series of angles that are hard to get right. Still here it is so far.


The large bin behind the front mudguard is made from brass sheet, I tried to show a bit of cloth hanging out hopefully it will look more convincing when painted.


I have started on the bins on the other side. According to the instructions it has this type of bin fitted to the rear mudguards when used in the desert. I couldn't work out how it would be opened so I took a punt and went for the front dropping down, so I removed the moulded plastic and made a lid from sheet and added the clasp and hinge.

It is probably no where near correct but those of you who no me, that has never got it my way

cheers
Scottie

I hope you can keep your mojo going Scottie, some very nice detailing as always. Doesn't look easy with all those angles indeed, but you're doing great! cheers

 

[Jim R]

Looking superb. If I could achieve that level of scratch work my mojo would be sky high. Little touches like the cloth hanging out raise this to another level. As for the drop down door - looks right so is right

 

[scottie3158]

Thanks Steven, it's not as neat as I would like but it will do for now.
