Ok ok!

With the Mossie out of the way I started cutting resin.

Since I'm only sharing the cockpit details with you guys and most of it won't be visible through the top canopy I won't bother replacing the MG17's. However I will extend them more to the rear since the gun breaches are missing...

The MG151 gun however is very visible, so I cut out the entire centre resin section with the MG151 breach and replaced it with a fresh more detailed Aires one.

Cheers Nick!

 

Made a little bit of progress today. Revell has the wing roots moulded to the fuselage. Had to cut them off and fill the holes with green card.

 

And what a lovely sound to hear overhead when cutting plastic!

Noise, how are you going to tackle the complicated fuselage/wingspar screw fittings?

Cees

I was thinking of getting sailboat model pulleys. They seam to have the right shape.

Otherwise I'll just scratch them. Should be do-able..

Ok. This was a head scratcher. I needed to make the round knuckle joints that connect the wings to the fuselage. 4 on each side.

Finally found a 4mm diameter thick tube. Sawed off thin pieces and put them in my Dremel. Sanded out the right contour. Also found a rod with exactly the right diameter that will run through the entire fuselage and will sit back 1mm in each knuckle joint.
