Rich H's Build Something Entry - Antonov A-40

[Rich H]

I want to make a start...   

Built up wing will be attempted....  might not work...  but I'll have a go!

[Rich H]

Can I start yet?!? 

[OSHIROmodels]

No 

 

Tomorrow morning 

cheers

James

[Rich H]

Boo! 

[OSHIROmodels]

Yup 

[von Lucky]

I'm there now, can I start?



(All the best Rich, will be watching this one with intertest.)

[Rich H]

Thanks but that's not fair!  I'm drinking gin instead...

[OSHIROmodels]

I'm there now, can I start?

Nope 

GMT dear boy, GMT 

[von Lucky]

Get Moving Tubby?

I know, 20:00 my time (later for beefcake), but gets us extra time at the end (if deadline is 9:00 GMT).

[Rich H]

So brakes are off...

Hull structure done


Wheels cut:


Wheels assembled:


and affixed:


Tracks are going to be a particular pain as they are tiny... and the turret is a mess of angles too...

Then onto wings 

[Ballardian]

A pleasingly mad project, looking good so far - considered making it an R/C aircraft (just think of the confused looks you'll get)?

[Rich H]

Just for scale:

Riveting stuff!





Pondering the built up wings... and I've a backup plan.
Built up wings are a pain to get right... so I might revert to foam and hotwire!
