Here are some additional pix of the continuios progress on this monster.

I added extra bulkheads on the outside of the nose wheel well and a floor between the kit bulkheads for the lead shot counter-weight to hold this bird on it's nose, along with the forward section of the floor extension.

The progress pix to date:

The Bulkheads built into the model showing the lead counter weight placements around the nose wheel.




Forward floor section with the extension added.


Forward fuselage side flaring with bulhead and lead weight added.




Mesh screens made from Brass mesh using a plasticard template and the Aluminium mesh added to the side inlets.

Nice work. Ill have to keep this in mind for my next project.

Still looking sharp Rob. Love the detail work with the inlets, what sort of screening are you using. Looking forward to see the new set of progress photos.
