Looking very nice Mr Spock

 

[MR SPOCK]

[align=center]Thanks all for the encouragement,

I have put these aside for a few days as I have been a bit wobbly,

the next part of the project will see detail parts added and finishing and I will have a go at weathering, after seeing what RJR has done in a short time ,and others on the forums, I think I should go all the way

[align=center]I finally got more done on these today,

I got the fan and grill etchings from Rob, (Maybach) and managed to remember to get some glue to fix,

the grills are made for the USA F3, but with a little extra work will do a grand job on the FA?FB,

the fans and grill are superb etchings as well and are stunning, will fit the fans soon and then paint,

cheers Rob

Rob's grills really finish off the look of your FA units Spock

 

[MR SPOCK]

Thanks Richie,​

​

I need to fill in the edges wiv some styrene rod as the side grills are .5mm narrow, the pics just show them pushed in temp, I got to take the carbodies off again to fit the fans back in, but I dont think the smoke units will work again, sothe fans will not get wired up, I need somepics of the inside of these now as you can see right thro and cant find one of the engine blocks, ​

[align=center]I got around to a first caot of paint to the fan grills today,
this shows the fine detail better and what the fan blade looks like,, looking for a way to slow the fan motors down anyone any ideas?

[align=center]Not a lot been happenning with these lately , I got them working again after the fire , last week I got some decals, but only enuff for three units,

I wanted Cigar band final years so the paint shops economy design is evident,

The plain paint scheme is compared to a full freight scheme on F3,
I still have a lot to do yet windows and handrails by the shed load and finishing the grill trims
