Has it been that long ???? Time for some updates :
More work on the big airscoop. I started by glueing the white plastic strip on the bottom of the airscoop (the silver paint is there to spot any gaps and cracks) :
Glued some plastic strip on the top of the engine to fill the gaps :
The airscoop now fits perfectly and without gaps on the engine :
The yellow strip will get roughly the same shape as the grey one :
I've added about 0,75 mm to the grey strip because it was to narrow :
Should look something like this :
uelpipe : first thing was to make the connector between the body and the pipe. I was a question of trial and error to find the right dimension and the postion of the holes :
The pipe was made from a knitting needle, the rings are drilled out pieces of sprue :
Dryfit :
Hotwheels has made the windows and the frame in one piece, these will be replaced :
Step 1 : Make an cutout in the body and and drill a hole for the brass tubes :
Step 2 : Cut the brass tubes to size and insert a piece of copper wire :
Step 3 : Glue pieces of plasticard to give the brass tubes the correct angle :
Step 4 : Dryfit :
This is the Hot Wheels electronics panel :
It's not wide enough and I don't like the details. After a couple of hours of sanding, drilling and dryfitting, this is the result :
I mad new electronic connectors with pieces from a lighter :
It was cut in three and then was sanded to size and reassembled :
The sidewalls of the cockpit need further modification. I've done some work in the past, but the walls weren't high enough. Now they run all the way to the underside of the body :
These are the first pieces I made for the battery and its housing :
The goal is to acheive this :
Sincerely
Pascal
