ok lets try again I had to install image resizer as we have new pc with vista and was successful.
so as promised here are a few pics of the rttl vosper, awaiting seatrials and stand. couple of questions, 1, as there is a retaining tonge attached inside the cabin it limits spce to install windows, are the windows fitted from the interior or exterior, not mentioned in instructions, and 2, also not mentioned, are there windows fited in the winch house. remember I'm still a newbie!

Hi Robert
The windows are glazed from the inside.
Winch house has windows glazed side and front.
Looking good.

Thanks Richard!

Hi Richard,
This first pic shows my dilemma. The locking tongue which is glued in place impedes fitting windows from interior. And I know what your about to say, where there is awill there is a way.
And the second photo shows the mast strucutre not fitted yet.
Any suggetions working around this locking tongue.
Robert

Robert can you place your glazing over the window openings on the inside and then hold them in position while you go round the outer edge with Plasweld.
Failing that, can you get the locking tongue out again, fix the window glazing and then refix the tongue. :-\

Tipping it out now and they say snow, in March!

Anyway, guess I'll get on with some fiddly painting.

Hi Rob
Looking good.

What colour scheme planed?? Are you going the nice usual clean shiny route, or the unusual weathered dull look that no one ever does?
Keep up the good work

Rob

rem2007 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 22, 2008, 03:15:33 pm »

going the clean shiny route, as it's my first paint job and build...so sticking to guidelines closely

That is going to look 'the mutts nuts',

Have you tried the RAF Museum at Hendon for information/photographs etc yet?

Rex

rem2007 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 24, 2008, 04:28:40 pm »

Hi Rex,
No I have not tried that museum, just what I've seen on the web.
Have not done much in the past week, had a nasty man flu and our little lad had footy practise, then a tournament, and it hailed!
Oh joy, should have majority of painting done next wek, barring no more tournaments. At least they won.

Robert

Rex Hunt · « **Reply #41 on:** March 24, 2008, 05:21:32 pm »

I am pretty sure that they have one in their carpark at Hendon.

Hi Rex and Richard,

Hi Rob
Fairplay to you about the colour scheme. I am looking forward to the end results.

Keep up the good work Rob.

Voyager · « **Reply #47 on:** March 25, 2008, 05:35:59 pm »

I'm sure that was taken at Hendon? Next time I'm there I'll try to get some close up shots if that will be of any use to anyone?

Voyager

rem2007 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 25, 2008, 07:24:16 pm »
