Thanks James . Can't take credit for the woodwork as I did not do that part.
I should have been back at the bench a couple of weeks ago but old age seem to have gotten in the way .
With a case of gout in one of my feet and my back getting out of wack has kept me from being in the mood :S
A couple days ago, I was trying to get in the mood but this PZL P.11 kept calling my name .
This is the venerable Revell kit which has already been heavily modified some years back .
Anyhow, I wanted a more correct color on the cowl ring . and some changes on the upper wing .
Anyhow, this seems to have gotten the juices flowing
The next day, I installed the wheel wells in the Hampden .
These could not be clamped down as they warped the wing . I sealed the sides in place and painted the glue black to keep any daylight from showing.
Next, I made up some ribs as this part of the wing is subject to flexing which would break the glue joints latter.
The wings were scribed but really did not need much as they are very nicely detailed.
Unfortunately, the assembly of the upper and lower halves was way more difficult than expected .
My best efforts could not line everything up and they wound up with mismatched ends
That should make for some interesting gaps latter .
Next, I peeked inside the fuselage and decided these pin marks needed to be machined out .
Well, that's all for now. Might have some time tomorrow after the drapes are hung
Cheers, Christian B)
