Build Progress Travel Air Mystery Ship

 

 

 

 

 

 

No Valve Push Rods Present. 

Don't understand the need for the Valve Push Rods. They will not be seen from the front. I don't even know if the can be seen from the rear because the cowl may be close to the fuselage. 

Completed engine with Valve push rods. 

First Stage Sanding of edges around the top of the wing. 

Just like the original mould of the bottom of the wing from the Hawk kit. I "eyeballed" the lines for the new piece attached. Next step, some more sanding. 

 

 

Missing piece is in place and ready 

Not great at people but only one way to get better. 

Wife's advent wine bottle makes a great holder for the pilot figure. 

Though pilot will be difficult to see needed put forth best effort for improvement. 

Filling in gaps on landing gear.

All pieces will be painted separately and then glued together. 

Windshield doesn't fit perfectly into place as you can see from the edges of the side of the plane.

Expected from old kits. Will try and clean up before paint.
