    ? Danny congrats on the taxi maiden. Looks and sounds fantastic. Love that big prop and the wobble as she taxies along. Must get back on mine.

    Danny Yes it was a bit of a Friday afternoon job. Anyway, had a play around with bits a pieces in my scrap boxes, this will do after I rough it up a bit. Totally the wrong instruments bug from a distance it will do.

    Now for an instrument panel, something like this

    Tackled the markings. Roundels use warbirds color paint. probably not the correct shade as I have used matt. Quite please, not too much colour bleed. The underwing identification markings are Tamiya acrylic flat black. Not very glamorous shots but show the effect. No excuses for not moving onto the rigging.........

    A bit more done. Spinner sanded and painted. Thanks to Chris for a lovely bit of 3D printing. I used Alclad Airframe aluminium. Not totally pleased as I did not read the instructions before use. Am going to try again with a gloss black undercoat then the aluminium.

    Hi Basil, thanks for the kind words. The foam used for the wheels is from Mick Reeves. You can find it on his website in the accessories section. https://www.mickreevesmodels.co.uk/~mickreev/Access/accessories.htm   Really great service and advise from Mick and Jim.   Hope this helps Martin   Edited By Martin Fane on 25/01/2021 17:53:16

    A quick update - exhausts in progress. Followed same procedure as Danny, former made up from 2 lengths of dowl seperated by a hardwood strip then filled and sanded smooth. The formed strips of lithoplate were treated to a coat of Alclad exhaust manifold colour. And installed - I fixed a small balsa clock on the cowl inside for the exhaust stub to sit on. Stubs fixed with a blob of silicon sealant.

    Another job I was avoiding tackled today - cutting the exhaust stub holes in the cowl. First the holes are marked out using a vinyl mask Then cut away - 1mm chain drilled first then opened up with permagrit files. Finished with 600 grit paper fixed on a length of dowel Not as difficult as I had first thought it would be Now where's my thin lithoplate Edited By Martin Fane on 14/01/2021 18:51:05

    Had another go at the wheel covers as i was ashamed of first go when I saw Dannys Thicker lithoplate this time allows more of a dished effect to be formed. Some thin thithoplate discs, styrene hex nuts, styren tube and glue blob screws around the rim. Much better this time I think, painted aluminium effect as I see different options for the yellow trainer version Next rigging avoidance scheme - will try the exhaust stubs

    Thanks Martyn - I'm enjoying your BMFA laser cutting zoom presentation

    Hi All and HNY Well back on the Fury, a big yellow canvas to tone down a bit. So after studying Dannys detailing items I set about to copy as best I could. Not to the same standard and a bit made up as I go along as I don't really have a subject to model: Coaming from Vectorboard - magic stuff such a good leather effect Test fit of the pilot and a go at stiching through lithoplate. A bit of colour to break up the yellow. Marking stencils from metamark paint mask cut on my Cameo plotter cutter. The rigging wires are done using closed loop wire with 1/16 aluminium ferrules and a bit of black shrink sleeve. Vector board again as the leather pads. The fake elevator control cables are from the thinnist piano wire I had. Struts are 5/16 aluminium tube squished a bit to look slightly oval (thanks again Danny) and a bit more needlework Slowly moving forward towards the instrument panel (not looking forward to cutting that shape) and exhaust stubs. Avoiding the wing wires as long as possible
