Many thanks for your support, Rick, Andreas, Giuseppe, Jeff and Gazza!

Morning bit of work done, gaps filled with black Miliputt and roughly sanded to shape. There will be a few corrections necessary, but all in all it looks acceptable.






Cheers

Ondra

That was quick! Miss a couple of days and the model is beginning to look like an aeroplane already!

Many thanks for your nice and supportive comments, Rick, Juan, Stephen, Ian and Jeroen! They are highly appreciated.

Today I moved on by turning the core for the cowling and preparing all the parts for vacuforming. Next weekend I will start experimenting, so keep you fingers crossed for me. :)





Cheers

Many thanks for your support, dear friend!

I started working on the fuselage, eventually I decided to change the approach a bit. Made of two vacuformed halves, the fuselage would not be rigid enough, so the rear part will be made of solid plastic. Quite surprisingly, vacuforming went well on the first attempt already, so these are the parts I got for the front fuselage:



The rear part is under construction now, the gaps will be filled with styrene:




And this is what it looks like when put together with a piece of white tac:




The engine cowling will be vacuformed as well, this where I stand now:




I also started working on the wings, a lot of sanding ahead of me.





Cheers

Many thanks for your nice and supportive comments, Rick, Frank, Gazza and Andreas! They are a great encouragement for me.

I filled the fuselage with green styrene and sanded it to rough shape, so this is where I stand now. Next up will be primer and corrections, tomorrow I would like to start working on the interior frame.




And when I had the file in the hand already, I also sanded the wings to the airfoil shape, the last picture pretty much gives away how "big" the Camel will be. :)
