Grumman JRF-5 Goose - Part 3

Thank you for your kind words !

I am very slow building this model, mainly explained by my wedding and the amount of work this bird requires. But I am still having fun, no rush .


Wings attached to the fuselage



I made a big hole for the landing light.
 


 
There is a big gap on the left wing (did I do that ?). I think I will use cyano gel to correct this problem




Another big gap to fill... Great I love that...




... and more work to adjust the canopy




Resin exhausts. I guess you see the problem here...
.

... I made the 2 exhausts similar and I made the little thingy smaller and drilled a hole





The wheels being to thin I added some styrene sheet ( 0.25mm)



To finish, I also corrected the rudder by adding some styrene on the lower part:

and added 2 small metal rods on the stabilizers to make my life easier


Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading ;)

Walkaround of the Messerschmitt Bf-109 E3 (J-355; Werk NummerlFactory Number 2422) exhibited at the Swiss Air Force Museum at Dubendorf Air Base near Zurich, Switzerland. My wife and I visited this museum and although I was more enthusiastic than her I think she appreciated it :) bf-109 antenna isolator Antenna isolator Antenna isolator 20MM FF-K Oe 37 (Flugzeugfliigel-Kanone Oerlikon 1937) Engine radiator flap Exhausts Right landing gear Left landing gear Wheel bay cover Pitot tube   Radiator flap indicator

D-3801 Morane Saulnier MS 406 Walkaround

After the Bf-109 , here is a short walkaround of the Adolph Saurer AG license-built D-3801 Morane Saulnier MS-406 also exposed at the Swiss Airforce museum at Dubendorf (Switzerland). One advice, if you go in Switzerland say D-3801, not M.S. 406 or you will have to handle a diplomatic issue  - n'est ce pas GĂ©rard :) Below are a few pictures of the cockpit taken through the windows ... And finally, some pictures of the engine, a Hispano Suiza HS-51 12Y
