Here are a few in some sort of build order:
Next Stage:
A quick shot of the stainless steel and Brass Spitfire I type cockpit plackards engraved for me by Chris. The limitations plate is a real "new old stock" and so joins the list of real parts in the sim.
Spitifre I Manual Undercarriage Pump
Sitting in Sim
Real thing...P9374
The basic layout:
Final test fit of all the painted parts of the main pump. I still have to do the mounting brackets, the
cockpit wall plate, the locking pin control wires and bend some clock spring to make the various holders and limit stops etc. Also still need to do the pipework. But for now I am just happy that it has come out "close to" the real thing!
LATELY:
some other acquisitions:
Correct early (pre regulator, Merlin II engine) Generator Switch.
The correct Starting Magneto switch:
A couple of these for Oxygen Hose clips
One of these:
Out of which to build one of these:
(Which are at least ten times the price IF you can find one).
Well, after everything lately and, frankly, seriously considering moving to PNG to live in the mountains.., today at last a very nice early Christmas present. I was contacted again, via another site, by the people who made my replica Undercarriage Indicator. They were so thrilled to see their indicator go into my cockpit, that they have asked me to return it, to be replaced by a fully working one! They want to contribute to the project by donating a unit!
This is just a wildly generous offer...the original cost me 185 pounds, the replacement is 600 pounds!!!
Should arrive in January.
I have had serious delays which have actually worked in my favour....
The methods I will be using have actually morphed much closer to the real Spitfire building methods. Accordingly I've been madly making wooden router patterns, swage dies and had a friend adjust a small GA to a full size drawing of Frame 8 to copy and use as a paper pattern for everything.
Also, one purchase.
One new "Donation" from Richard at Airtech (who I am helping with his latest project..but much more of that later, I suspect!)
Late Spitfire I Panel :
A couple of changes will be necessary to revert it to early but MUCH easier than chain drilling one or getting drawings set up in DX files for Chris to laser cut a stainless one!
And, last but not least, a purchase from "Replica Aircraft Parts"
BFP
I felt I needed to pay for something..as they have made further donations of a Parking Brake Clip Bolt, an Undercarriage Down Circuit Switch (for the side of the throttle) and an Aluminium Gun Button Ring (correct for the Spit I) .
If anyone is interested I'll keep this updated..
