CeeBee's Occasional Fixed Wing Ramblings (Update 23/03...)

[Deleted]

That's a nice pair you have there! 

Spad looks very cool as you said CB, close enough rattle can for colour is close enough for me my friend, go for it 

[Deleted]

Ok...to show you how I got this far...


here is what I have thrown together,in no particular order....but here is the 'Pit,front bulkhead,rear bulkhead,and fittings..





Installed in the starboard fuselage,along with the brace frames,and rear undercracker wheel assembly



Then both fuselage halves,dryfitted....nice fit ..


Lower wing,with undercarriage wells assembled,still have to fit the inboard guns...


Inboard wing assembly,tail feathers and undercrackers ready....


Port outer wing assembled,with outboard gun fitted,and dry fitted the way I'm gonna display her....Back to first piccie...


next update at the weekend,maybe...

[Deleted]

Lui the Spad is this one....


Steve,as I said in the Mustang thread yesterday,this fella fits NEARLY as well as a Tammy kit,and at less than half the price of the ZM kit,for all you need,what's not to like,eh?

WOOHOO!!!! 4K achieved,on me own thread!!!!!

[jackh.]

Great bunch of wingies CB.

[bullardino]

I remembered well, it's the 1/32nd trumpy kit

[wbill76]

Very nice pair of wingies in the works there CB! If you're having trouble with the P word, just say 'colour' instead!

[deafpanzer]

DAMN! Rob is building planes... Bill a ship... Mr T a bulldozer... Luigi's back... Dicky is being nice... now you are really building something. World is really coming to an end much sooner than I expected!

LOVE that Mitchell... #3 best bomber if you agree? LOL

Got the overwhelming urge to glue some styrene on Sunday...Came up with this











Wings,Tail feathers,Office and intake/exhausts are built,the rest is dry fitted.All I need now is a couple of 1960's Brit Jet jockeys,they don't come in the kit!

Usual ACW applies

[deafpanzer]

Looking great! Always feel the urges after going to model shows.

[Leon]

Cee Bee,soz i'm late mate .These are looking awesome buddy.

[Deleted]

Got me some Jet Jockeys coming,because I want to display this beauty in flight. ....More to come on some of these,when I ain't so ferkin tired!!!!

[bbd468]

Cee Bee got some styrene flyin about! Thats a fine thing to see indeed. Thats a killer Jet Cee Bee, what is it? Though it were a Avro Vulcan for a sec. but not sure what it is. Nice start too!

[ogrejohn]

WOOP! Very nice Chris!

[Deleted]

Mr McB.....the clue is really in (the TITLE) .....It's the new Airfix kit.....I was gonna do a review of the kit,but I thought I'd just throw the ferkin thing together, and try to p...p....? Colour the darn thing in.Silver underneath,with the standard grey/green topside.LOTS of ferkin stencils,and the decs are Cartograf...

[Deleted]

The way this has gone together on the major assemblies,I may well get away with using NO putty/correction fluid at all!!!!In the pics,those wings are just slid onto the spars.....

"No putty" Thats always a bonus! Well lets get rollin then Cee Bee!  

[Deleted]

Roger that!!!...My Colonial friend ....If I get the chance,I'll just hairy brush the 'pit,cos by the time the 'Chaps' get set in there,there will not be a lot showing,eh? ;)Makes things easier fer I,don't it?

[Paul P.]

Cee Bee me little DREME mucka, do I detect from these snaps that you have almost finished a kit


Paul

[wbill76]

NOPE!!!...It implies that I STARTED yet another kit,and have it at the p!..p!..colouring stage....My Therapist has been very good in helping me to overcome this p!..p!..colouring phobia,but she says that she can help me!!!! ....AND I've got Chaps to do!

[bullardino]

Oh, no, the P word!

Can't wait to see some on this one, it does already look great mate

[fightnjoe]

wait, chris is building. not using the "p" word but will we see it in shades other than the original? inquiring minds really are curious.

and chris i do hope you can get past this.

Chaps AND decs?? Who are you and what have yer done with the real CeeBee?

The 'Chaps' are for the Javelin,cos I want to show it in flight,It looks better in the air..and the dec set is for the 3 Tucanos I got.

[fightnjoe]

chaps and decs were mentioned but you will notice that the build is not done yet. cb is still here and going strong.

Oooohhh!!!! Yes please!!! ....................OUCH !!!!! My Missus just read that!! LOL!

Paul,I'm gonna send the chaps up to you for some colouring in(See,the therapist is working),but I feel confident I may actually finish a build this year,unless I get a phobia for decals!!!!
