Special Hobby Lloyd C.V 1/48

Sorry your not fully healed yet Terri but getting some bench time in is a good sign your on the mend. Really like what you've done with the struts, getting the angles all correct must be difficult with this kind of thing!

Awesome work on the struts Terri! Glad you are improving and hope you are 100% healed soon!

No need to feel sorry at all Richie , but thank -you . The struts weren't all the hard to get their angles set . the fuselage has grooves for the four rear ones really aiding in this . It was getting the rad pipes to the right height and to aid in this the the groments that I added to the fuselage are drilled out letting me side the assembly up or down once it's time to finally glue the rad in place .

Terri,
Between this build and the “Star Strutter” you are obviously proficient at geometry, at least
in 1/48th scale. This is shaping up nicely.

Thank-you Rick , Kevin . Ken and Fredrik for the encouraging feedback .

Kevin ,  geometry has never been one of my strong points and still struggle with it . Landing gear still isn't sitting quit right yet , bit more tweeking .

Hi Terri.  Glad to see you back at it.  Also glad to hear that I am not the only one who struggles with landing gear!

The Lloyd is shaping up nicely under your skillful hands.  Keep at it, and enjoy!

Best regards,

Bob

Some very delicate work on the struts and radiator pipe Terri - I expect it tested your patience a bit, but you won in the end. Very impressive indeed.

Thanks Bob and Stephen 

With it raining today it was perfect on getting a bit more bench time in . I removed the brake detail earlier on when working on the landing and finished this detail off . rest of the rad piping is finished as well . I made this part with brass wire and tubing from a pulled Q-tip over a flame . The pulley for the flight controls I punch a few of disc with a punch with a spacer in between , drilled a hole and mounted this to the top of the rear strut . Details were also scratched up form scrapes for the tank and mounting pins for later . The fuel line is still a work in progress .. Work started on the tail skid , but nothing worth of pic's yet .
