That nose gear strut is gonna be hating life in a bit....

Nice work so far...

I'm thinking of going the old Monogram route and fabricating a boarding ladder to hold up the tail.

Small update. Spent a lot of time doing research on the radios, oxygen systems, lighting, and wiring on the aircraft. I also started cleaning up the 16 various Oxygen bottles and 14 misc radios I ordered from Resin2Detail. Next step is to start detailing them.

The Resin2detail stuff is brilliant!  That's where I got my radios and O2 tanks.   I've been following this build...got some great ideas!  I'm doing "Going My Away" (at least until some decals come out that distract me).  I have replacement turrets on the way, too.

 

Cheers,

I definitely want to see pictures when you get them. So far the pictures don't look promising.

On hold right ow--waiting for the Aerocraft brass landing gear and the replacement turrets.  Hopefully will get something today, but who knows?

I should have the brass gear any day.

WHen I get back from my business trip next month, I will start working on a turret upgrade on my own.

Hey 1to1 

 When you get around to building your landing gear watch out for this area on the main gear.

It's a weak point and needs to be reinforced. I wish Aeroscale would make those parts out of brass it would resolve the issue.

This is what I did to fix mine, it's not prototypical but it works.

I was thinking that maybe covering the poorly clear parts with exhaust fumes or even the white glass polish that ground crews used
