Last part to fit to the fuselage



Added some extra formers aft of the rear turret. These help keep the sides in place.



A simple task then to glue in place.

Onto the next part

Tim

Your one piece skin approach seemed pretty sound, Tim...was the fit issue due to the design or just differences between cut parts? I would have thought that if it fit on the piece by piece method the one skin would have worked as well. It looked like a great way to ensure tight seams and joins over such a delicate internal structure...

I've seen this method on some Polish forums. And thought it would be a good idea.

I did have to harden some of the more delicate formers with CA to avoid warping.

The 'old fashioned' way worked just fine

Moving onto the wings next

Wings time:



Started with the lower wings. As usual the structural parts are laminated to 1 mm card. Once dry these are cut out and assembled.



I always take my time with forming the wing sections. Initially these are cut out and edge coloured.



I use a series of round objects. Starting with the larger of them, then gradually working smaller to finally forming the leading edge



Glued on the inner wings first. Glued these on all in one go.



Once the inner wing sections were dry. The outer sections were attached.



I glued the under wing surface on first. Making sure the two wing sections butted up nicely



I press down on the trailing edge with a wood dowel to keep them nice and straight



Starting to look like an aeroplane



Upper wing next

Tim

Update:

Started work on the floats. Although they have quite a few parts to cut. They do look straightforward.



First step was to laminate the parts to 1mm card. Then using a sharp blade, cut the parts out.



Tacked the parts into place using Super Glue. Then followed up with PVA.

Will start to cover these two tomorrow

Tim

Engine time

The engine fitted to this aircraft was the The Armstrong Siddeley Panther. A 27-litre 14-cylinder twin-row air-cooled radial engine



The engine is built up of numerous individual parts



Made holes in the crank case to accept the push rods



As the parts are made, they are glued onto the growing engine.



That's the fun bit over. Now starts the fiddly bit



Fitted the push rods and glued into place.



Once dry these were then trimmed off.



The rocker covers are made up of 1 mm card trimmed to shape.

Tim
