Hey,using this scanner for taking in progress pics is fun.
The above 2 pics when joined together are the L/H side of the JN4A fuselage which is being robbed for parts for the Canuck.I have left the sides pretty much completely covered with fabric, with the fuselage metal cowling on.I cheated a bit here as I really didnt want to install all the wires and fittings on the fuselage as I had done on the Canuck.It also gives the viewer an idea of how the airplane would look covered with its fabric and cockpit cowling.(anyway that is my story and I am sticking to it.
The cockpit combing is real aged leather from an old purse.The tarps are modified Kleenex .The grommet holes in the fuselage sides are where the control wires would pass through and the half moon is the pilots step.The original military insignia has been painted over with blue paint and you can see a few fabric patches here and there.
The weathering is not yet completed.This fuselage section will rest on the hangar floor on wooden blocks.There will be a mechanic working in the rear hole removing instruments from the instrument panel which should bring everything nicely into scale.
