The MK2 Shackleton MR2 project. :)

You had better, I am watching you know.......

How does it go?
"10,000 loose rivets flying in close formation"!

i think it will end up a few more than 10,000 i am up to 1659 so far and still have the bottom and other side of the nose to go yet.

4088 rivets later i have done all i can to the nose section for this moment.
i need to design the wing center section and finish the main fuselage design next.



so it will go on hold now till after old warden when i will fire up thee CAD again and finish of a coupe of old projects.
don't go away ya hear.

well hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
not sure, but i suppose it will do for the prototype build.


Gunners area.

Now what you do is to spend hours cutting individual sheets of acetate for each separate window and glue them on.

Then you spend more hours cutting and sticking on individual strip of depron to make up the outer glazing frames.





Then you end up with this mess.


I need to sand all the frames down next and then add rivets and paint.
Then the nose will be done as far as i can for now.
I will now have to get the plan for the fuselage finished off before in can go any further.
