Ok, after a slight delay (other distractions) back to the model!
Time for the wings – an interesting stage as here the wings are being modelled in flight.
PART 1
Picture 1 – This shows all the parts for the wings laid out.
Picture 2 – The parts for one wing.
- The first step is glue the tabs on the wings together.
- Dry fit the tabs first and then gently curve the wings to shape them.
Picture 3 shows the wings (top and bottom) after the wings have been shaped and the tabs now glued.
The next step is to attach the feathers.
Picture 4 - Select Feather 1B and B2 and the left wing.
- On the underside of the wing and feather 1B, there are shaded areas that indicate where the feathers should go.
- Stick 1B exactly so it covers the shaded area on the wing, and then repeat with B2. Done!
Picture 5 shows the alignment of the feathers – they must, of course, be glued higher up so they cover the shaded area.
Pictures 6 and 7 show how the feathers look glued in place. The picture also shows the two shoulders which will be glued in the next stage.
PART 2 below is a continuation of this section of the build.
