Work continues with this plane
Assembled the fuel tank. Used the original parts from the kit. But didn't attempt a clean cut of the parts or a precise gluing because I knew I was going to modify it. Soaked with CA, and sanded it... After some Tamiya gold paint the tank was ready and fit to the fuselage, along with the completed cockpit. I know it's not a very detailed cockpit, and it probably isn't accurate. But it's perfect for my goal of having a decent-looking model, and learning what I can from this type of kit. The pedals are movable. I may attempt to make the rudder functional. But I know I won't make the elevators functional. Not this time. Maybe in a far future... if ever. The original paper provided by the kit to cover the fuselage sides and wings is too thick and too yellow, so I am using a thinner and lighter textured paper Photo shows the original part on the textured new paper to be used: Fuselage is basically complete: This is how it looks like with some back light: Thanks for reading! Until next time.

Wonderful model and wonderful realization so far!
I like very much the way you realized the truss and the translucent covering is phenomenal. Very nice the tank also. And you said this should be a "simple as possible" build to have a "decent" result! What if you decided to make an "epic" build? I'll be sticked to this thread with great interest! |
