Shack Attack - TNBB: Part 5 - Return of the Shack, Chapter 3

After nearly four months off the workbench, due to Railway Commissions - the Shack is back to be finished.

 

To be honest there wasn't a much to do - main undercarriage, wheels, props, a few aerials/pitot tubes, some painting and an awful lot of transfers!

 

Prop assembly - 3 parts to each prop, 8 props and once painted 9 decals per prop!

Painting the main under carriage wheel bays - while I was doing this, the wheels & undercarriage struts & doors where in paint.

Adding the transfers - there's a lot!

Once the wings where decaled up underneath, I fitted the undercarriage. Props test fitted at this point and rear props had the shaft hole opened up to ensure they rotate (no innuendo please)!
