SWEET.
My RPF'ers,
Thank you so much for stopping by my friends, it really does mean a lot that you stop by to say hi, thanks
Making very slow progress but I know that this section defines the main profile, so it has to be right,
Any hooooooooooozzzzzz your father, Luke :
We have pic's people,
Glued the tank hull to the ship hull,
Fixed it to me snout just to see,
Cut out the 'Tea tray",
Some Chamfer action,
Fitted with rod to hide the join and aid filling the radius
Bottom, oh err misses........
Pinch and glue the nose, to be filled and sanded later
Your basic dry fit to test stuff
A coat hanger for the bottom profile, ...............maybe.
Marked,
Drilled,
Screwed,
Another dry fit, back,
Plan
Side
Alot of jiggery-pocker at the moment, still trying to fix the proportions, from seeing these pictures it's too thick, just like me. ;D
Adjustments required,
Next time,
Take care

I'm sure I've said this before, but I'm blown away by your "vision". The build is definitely starting to look the part.
Afternoon everyone,
Thanks for stopping by,
Got to get ready to go out to dinner so it's gunna be fast,
Still thought it looked thick after this mock up,
Decided that the underside shape needed to be finalized and thought the tea tray was to big, so i removed it.
Maked and cut some sheet
First glued the parts on the tank hull
Cleaned the nose sides then glued the front flat to the nose
Then the sides
And along the hull line
New profile without tea tray
Cleaned up
Filled ready to be sanded
That's it for today
Take care

Wow, Gag and Katsu-san have new builds on the go- I feel left out!
I'll just have to show you my new secret project after it's finished and installed at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich...
Meanwhile, I'll have to live vicariously by watching your builds!

Ello Folks,
Cheers chaps,
Been at the bench since 10:30 am, got quite a lot done today.
Sava look then.
Sanded back the red filler in the week and gave it another smear with the squadron putty,
Aluninium foil and double sided tap.
Cut a hole in the detergent cap,
Soldered and installed 6" of white LED tape,
Hooked up to a 9V battery
Then started to blend the inner structure piece to the engine cover,
Punched some holes,
Then it was back to the main profile, first i finalised the width with spacers,
Got creative with my heat gun and a clamp, to even up the plan view of the nose section
Cut notches in the sides of the tub
Dry fit everything together,
After much fiddling about with the profile and the final position of the cockpit tub, did a mock up with cardboard and tape and the windscreen blank in position and the top intake.
Front,
Top,
Side,
3/4
It's still very rough but I'm getting there, It looks a bit too 'A" wingy to me. so i'll have to try again.
What do you guy's think of the profile?
Till next time,
Take care
