Well, instead of installing cockpits and closing fuselages, this evening I've made myself two Spandaus
Happy winner of this set is not decided yet - I'll use it on the overall better looking plane.
At first there was a PE set (and I have two more in reserve
) and third picture shows the progress.
For really small parts I made Pick'n'Place device of toothpick and blob of Blu-tack, and after few trial-by-errors got stretched sprue of the right diameter to serve as a template for rolling the grid. This sprue is put into the reserve bag, since by mistake I threw away one I made long time ago.
The barrel is also made from stretched sprue, while for muzzle I'm going to use a syringe needle.
After some two hours the result is evident, although there some parts that are going to be attached at the end, when I install the guns.
Tomorrow it's the fuselage assembling time
