The Lego Eagle is great! Can't work out what the Hellcat resin is, is it an underwing radar dome? I saw the video of 'Nigel's workbench' Hellcat engine core, that engine is massive in model form. No the Resin is the fuel tanks, visible with the wings folded & ventral hatch open - which Airfix chose to omit. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted July 23, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2019 Oh and tonight I decree it Tempest Tuesday, as I managed to get an hour or so's worth of work done on the Tempest V.. Mainly sanding and some minor filling, but the fuselage & wings are now glued together! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted July 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 26, 2019 I also plucked up the courage to fit the wings to the Tempest's older sister - it did require some serious engineering (Mini-Neil was watching on with interest) I left it to dry for nearly 24 hours - this morning I was relieved to note the starboard wing root (which was the issue), now only needs some minor filling. I've also fitted the resin tail-planes... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some etched plates on the Eduard Tempest - though compared to the Typhoon it's minimal (and to scale unlike the Tiffy). Fortunately the decals are by Cartograph - not Powsides In the meantime more parts added - the canopy subframe is dry-fitted atm, as it needs the internal faces painted. Oh and twin Hawker shoot.. The Tiffy IB has the later Tempest V tail planes 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted August 11, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Quite a big update... Stables are now in primer (Halfords Grey Primer Aerosol) Not content with just that I built the Timber Tracks GWR Sand House.. Relatively straightforward apart from forming the roof - which involved boiling water, a Railmatch Aerosol and elastic bands.. Once everything was dry and glued together this got a coat of grey primer.. .. whilst this was drying I started yet another Timber Tracks kit, GWR Goods Shed C and yet another set of vague instructions.. More to come on this one, later today. Edited August 11, 2019 by toboldlygo to add a photo 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted August 12, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 12, 2019 A belated updated from yesterday. More detailing added (and some mods for adding lighting - more on that in a later post ). I've also had the soldering Iron out.. The office wasn't glued on at this point and here's a separate view of it... More to come later today.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold toboldlygo Posted August 15, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2019 Sorry for the delay this was the state of play with the Goods Shed at the end of Monday.. Office and goods shed glued together, mods made for lighting (as mentioned previously) and the majority of exterior detail added. I've only fitted the rear roof panels to make painting the interior easier (and to give some strength to rail side of the shed) Testing out some lighting.. I'm currently in the process of priming the interior (along with painting the other two buildings exteriors), so there will be an update at some point in the next week or so on this. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
