now these hinges, hmmmmmmmm having problems deciding how to do it.

they fit to the outside of the doors, a curved arm comes out of the fuselage and fits into a u bracket on the door with a pin for a hinge.

i would make some up, but they need to be very small for scale. hmmmmmmmmmmm

suggestions on materials and methods needed, help.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum.

2mm brass plate, cut and filed to size? Better still half hard aluminum or Duralumin

Do it now, you may never get another chance

now about these hinges for the doors.
it has been suggested by mr redshaw that i try spectacle hinges, might be easier than making my own from scratch.
then we have the issue of the door catch.
i dont think i will bother making the handle work, will just have a dummy handle and another form of hidden catch for the door.

Mr Sephton informs me that the front window in the door slides, so that is my project for tomorrow.
make the sliding windows and tackle the hinges.

(must make up wood list and order) then it will have to be the wings.

Tony I know you were getting frustrated over doing sliding windows, but got to say they look amazing and worth all the effort

This is directed to Tony, but also to the other builders on this forum. Where the hell do you get the patience from ???

Great effort
