Saro London: 3 Models, 3 Sizes

[Draco]

Thanks, gomidefiho!

Well, I'm enjoying () three consecutive blackouts in one morning, so I advanced with the paint.

Not in the mood to write a lot

Great advances my friend!

Thanks, gomidefilho!

Today I've been instaling the auxiliary tank (detachable) on the Saro London. Soon, the engines, the wing struts and the floats.

As you can see, the tank is mounted between two rails, detachables too. You can choose, of course, if your model will carry extra fuel, spare parts or nothing.

I took the time to improve a bit the letters BN L, and correct the flag over the tails (The red always goes ahead!)

Great progress!

[Draco]

Thanks!

Well, I'm taking the day off from learning web design to continue with the London!

Once the fuel tank was finished, now comes the wing struts, I1 to I6 parts!
And the engine cowls are half-designed, just need to be printed and tested!

[Draco]

Well, testing the wing struts and painting them.

As I said, the fuel tank is detachable. It's a bit difficult (not much) to insert and remove, but it can be done.

And yes, the central struts have this triangular structure and they go so forward.
I hope to glue the other four this afternoon, and start with the engines covers.

The London is coming along nicely!

Another great between-the-wars project. Well done.

Thanks, Wyvern, Thanks, Rata!

The wings struts are placed, just need to paint them and finish the engines.

The engines are already designed, but need to print and test them.

And the floats are being designed. You can see that the London and Stranraer floats are very similar. I keep feeling that the Stranraer is a very improved London, even if the building companies are different. But Saro and Supermarine colaborated sometimes, soo...

Wing struts are finished, starting to assemble the engine cowls.

Propellers printed, need to be glued.
