RSS Fetcher Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 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)! Both wings done and glued on. 72 decals later the props where added. Finished Shackleton and a cameo... And a Christmas treat - The Three Wise Avro's..
