Post by: acewwi on March 19, 2017, 06:40:34 AM: Hi all

Next step is to improve the sidewall of the fuselage.

So open new holes for the control cables.

And replaced the kit panel's fasteners with my own constuction by 0.1 mm wire.

I replaced the kit machine gun with the MG of GasPatch.
(http://www.mchost.gr/thumb/ccbc87e4b5/2781.jpg) (http://www.mchost.gr/v/2781)(http://www.mchost.gr/thumb/ccbc87e4b5/2775.jpg) (http://www.mchost.gr/v/2775)
and proceeded to cannibalism of kit MG to get ammunition's power conductor.
(http://www.mchost.gr/thumb/ccbc87e4b5/2777.jpg) (http://www.mchost.gr/v/2777)(http://www.mchost.gr/thumb/ccbc87e4b5/2782.jpg) (http://www.mchost.gr/v/2782)

I placed the MG on the right and oil tank on the left and finally the oxygen device with two air pipes supply on the back.
