The fuselage seems to offset to one side!

I like, I like . Where do you get the resin parts? I look forward to see the end result.

Hi Brent,
My appologies for missing your post
The first fuselage was built as a once-off originally. It was built with 1mm styrene, and would not have been suitable for making molds. Also the windows were cut after the fuselage was assembled, and they were wrong. Was less work to start from scratch than trying to fix it.

AT6C, your age is showing...

Wingman, glad you like it. I make my own molds and castings.

So, canopy master is made, and is slightly smaller to compensate for the clear plastic thickness. Landing gear, propeller and spinner is also done.



Cheers
John

Hi guys,

Next update. Added more detail to the cowl flap, and it will be adjustable. Usually its open. Also made the exhausts.



Cheers

The Kudu is really coming along nicely!

And the exhausts are not even drilled out

Bladerunner,from age comes wisdom,it takes a lot of practice and time to achieve that

Poor eyesight aswell

Thanks for the compliment Gregair.

Here is the next update. Made the fuselage fairings for the main gear legs, and the first canopy... and first time lucky.



Cheers

Thanks Brent,

It was time to testfit the landing gear, and it looks okay.
The canopy has been cruedly stuck down with Microscale Krital Klear so I can add the section of the wing that fits onto the canopy.



Cheers
John

Made the first seat. Obviously I'll only build one and make a resin copy for the second.

Looks like a Kudu to me... Were there any passenger seats in the Kudu?

There are only two types of aircraft — fighters and targets.

Not seats as what Bladerunner has made (pilot seats),more of the para seat type as found in in the C130,C160,Puma,Frelon,etc..

Bladerunner,that canopy came out well

Your concern now about the wings and the canopy should be gone!

Thanks guys. Your comments are valuable to make sure that the kit is on par.

The Kudu had the basic tube frame and canvas seats, but are optional to requirement. When they carry light cargo or drop "meat bombs" they have no seats.

So back to the build. I've fitted the landing lights in the port wing this morning.



Cheers

The landing lights look good

Thanks AT6C.

I scribed the panel lines on the engine cowl, and primed it. Needs a bit of touch-up work, but the lines are in place.



Cheers
