Week 27 This week we get the rib caps for the middle wings.
The bits we received
And what we did with them
The same process as week 9, which is repeated below.
The rib caps were all steamed to shape. Notice the curve that matches to top of the ribs, and the little 'jiggle' at the front of the lower caps.
Here is the lower cap glued in place. Notice how my little 'jiggle' matches the shape of the front of the rib.
When all the lower caps are in place, glue the trailing edge in place, so that the front edge just touches the rear tips of the ribs.
Here is the first of the upper rib caps in place
And here is a close-up of how I arranged the various parts at the trailing edge.
I'll add a few specific bits here later.
How many hours does it take to build the model ??
