Good evening Gentlemen and fellow pilots:
I cut a small block and sanded to general shape the gun cage..
After a few minutes I had 90% of the correct shape so I glued it to the main ring. There were different types of bubble tops some taller than others so I took this one from a pretty good photograph.
Almost done. I will put some putty around it tonight and tomorrow I'll sand to the final shape....This
Hudson is almost ready, will work on several details like the gear doors (card), struts (bamboo), antenna (bamboo), machineguns (bamboo), propellers Hubs (bamboo), propellers (card), Flaps (card).....and finally Paint it. That will wrap things up...........I will do two other things:
1) Flying Propellers (transparent plastic) and a base with a U-Boat maybe diving and bombs exploding on its sides or a level U-Boat surrendering to the "Hudson-Hunter".....If I do the last one I will have to place some crew with their hands up in the conning tower!!!!! (interesting).....
2) Take pictures of Hudson at the airport at rest...........Take pictures of it attacking the sub...
and then put it in my collection, or give it away.
.....................Then continue with the Battle of the Mediterranean. or maybe do another here.....but what???......could it be the FW-200 Kondor???....Hummm Hummm Hummm.
Please note that the "decals" are rough demos printed with my PC on regular paper. Final ones will be quite different...
