I've forgotten which episode I'm up to.....Never mind, ever vaguely onward and upward!
No real progress, per se, although I thought I'd try preparing the Smer wing to see if I made a better fist of it than with the Heller original. So I glued it together with my usual CA at strategic points method. So far, so good. Bizarrely, Messrs Smer seem to have beefed up the trailing edge of the wing halves somewhat, so a very thick trailing edge results. No matter, sanding would sort that out.
An hour later and happy me
. "But", thought I, "there seems to be a slight twist in the wing. Hmm. I'll tape it to a rigid aluminium ruler and use the 'ot water treatment." And that's what I did. Except that the water was far too hot and the whole thing turned into a wobbly mess
The stupid part of this sorry tale is that I have previous for this sort of thing and obviously haven't learned from the error of my ways. Ho hum.
As far as the inners are concerned, there's been a slight digression. This is attributable to a digression into the world of photo-etched brass for another project, which has opened up the possibility of using that material for the MS.230 cockpit panels and IPs, plus other bits and bobs, too.
More soon, hopefully!
Cheers,
Mark
