Hi All,
Well a little more work has been done. I have now got the landing gear attached and painted up. I had a little 'accident' with the nose wheel leg and broke it.
However, it was not all bad news, as I remembered my 'Ryanair 737' had a slight nose down attitude once finished, so I had an opportunity to correct it.
I drilled the leg and undercarriage attachment point and inserted a short length of Brass rod for strength. Then using thick superglue brought it together ensuring it lined up true in the various planes. But I left about a 1.2mm gap between the parts which made the leg longer as required. Once dry I used white PVA to disguise the gap, and when this was dry painted the area to match.
Once done and the wheels attached the aircraft sat nice and level, and I was happy with the result.
I have painted the wing tip navigation lights in clear Red and Green.
To finish I need to add various Ariel's from both the kit, and from scratch. Also the Anti collision beacons need to be added to the fuselage top and bottom. Finally a quick, pin wash to the intake ducts, exhaust outlets.
