Hi!

Sorry for the pause, but the build it's not dead.  ::)

A lot to do beside modelling...
and a stop because I've managed to broke the longeron that joins the 2 halfs of the wing. A weak spot of the model.
As the wing need Dihedral it was not easy to rejoin at the right angle, but now it's ok

Now it's time to smooth the join and the underside seam, but nothing too bad.







I'll try to be faster in future!  ::)

bye

Andrew

    It's nice to see this back "in the lights" again Andrew, I was wondering if it had been abandoned. Still looking exceptional, keep up the great work! 8)

Great to see a pusher - and a very good one judging from the photos. Well done for overcoming the problem - looking forward to seeing a very good model coming together.

This is impressive stuff - I'll need to refer to your thread when I get around to building my WNW DH2.

Hi!"

Small update.
Before going on with fuselage painting I've decide to add metal pins to the landing gear and make some proper holes for locating it.
I think that with Roden kits it's a must, the plastic pins are too small and too fragile.

Compared to a WnW kit you have to think ahead 3 or 4 steps, compared to where you are in the building process, for not having problems later  ;D
But it's great fun!





Now I'll go on with finishing and painting the fuselage.

Bye
