ScottsGT Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Good luck! It felt so great to pull that eject handle back in April. Went to lunch with the old work crew before Christmas and not regretting it one bit. Current CIO is running the place into the ground morally and business wise. And it’s a state agency. Unfortunately the damage will be done before those on the outside looking in will notice. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 11 years to go... to reach the state retirement age... and to pay off my mortgage. I may still keep working after...

Peterpools Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Gaz Pretty darn tight and at least you can see both side walls with all the details. I'm sure, pilots needed to be on the 'slim' side, as slightly hefty pilots would feel just beyond snug. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Details... Details... and more scrubby details... There are things oils do better than enamels... like blend in. After building the ZM 109 and realizing that no pilot can climb on top of neatly laid and crossed seatbelts, I decided to make stubs that are mostly hidden inside the aircraft body. I cheated... I have no idea what color or shape IJA seatbelts would be... so I faked it with HGW fabric belts. Adding the dual ignition wires for the Ha-109 radial engine was a challenge. This is actually something I've never really had to do before. Added the breech ends of the Ho-103 machine guns. I cut off the barrels for later use. No point in keeping them there... you can't see them anyway. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The blending looks a bit unusual, but nonetheless has it's own character Gary. I like the pit with the belts stored away and the wiring job with the engine looks spot on. Cheers Rob 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Riveting done. I find that for the lateral lines of rivets on the fuselage, Tamiya stretchy tape makes a great guide. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
