first coat of grey on the wing.


second coat of grey and started the roundels.


lettering on the starboard side, the black seven is a bit thick, will have to thin it down a tad.


need to do second coats on the lettering and fuselage roundels stiil and finish off the wing ones.
but we are getting there, slowly

Not as good as others on here do, but i have got the panel lines on.





needs a coat of sealer to protect it and then we can fit the retracts and servos and finish the ailerons.
then fit out and do final sealer coats.

nearly there at last. :)

well the u/c is in and working at last.
need some more small screws and i can fit the servo and wiring hatches.
then that leaves motor and nose fitting before final touching up and finishing off.

right gents.
u/c works fine and the wheel doors are going on.


Battery tray is in and drying.
motor mount box is assembled and drying.

tomorrow i can fit the motor and nose, paint the u/c doors and fit the aileron servos.
that will just leave final fitting out, weathering and final sealing.

Looking at the radiator reminds me that the original Merlins were supposed to be a total loss system with the coolant at boiling point all the time. The system was junked for some reason that I don't remember. The radiator was designed by someone at Rolls Royce. When in its 'closed' position (ie, flush) the radiator actually adds some extra thrust! The early models moved the flap through 90degrees for take off and landing, but this tended to over cool the engine! Later models had a 6 position flap which was obviously more user friendly.

Do it now, you may never get another chance
