HI Rick yea i must admit im not lookin forward to tryin to fit this P/E togeather especially if i get the shakes so a nerve tab is the first order of the day to keep calm an yea the hanger lights look bright but when i get two seakings fitted in there they will cut the light power down as the leds are not that bright its the camera showin to much glare cheers for lookin inHave fun with the P.E. Chris.........glad it's you and not me LOL ........been having a catchup on this and you are moving along at a good pace.........the hangar is sweet and the lighting will be the bomb when you get the brightness sorted.

HI Jim many thanks you are too kind an nice comments that helps to keep up my mojo no end an to keep pressing on with this build as i must admit its getting a bit complex an we will find out today just how much patience and skill i have on this radar scanner as its very fragile so i plan to build this in stages as its so eye straining even with my head magnifier as so far its taken me three days to get to where i am now so work on this scanner will be slow an hope i dont make a mistake as once its glued there will be no goin back to undo the mistake an yes im armed with the anti super glue to release it but it does not always work so by tonight i just hope im not a nervous wreck lolHi Christopher
Every time I look in on one of your updates I am more and more impressed. You have great patience and skill.
Jim
HI John yes im gonna need all the luck i can get as the shakes have set in as i think im concentrateting to hard so had a rest for a bit an come on here but im now goin back up to the shipyard to do battle with the P/E an where do i get the axles an gears from well it was model shows an jen looks on car boot sale for anything that maybe be usefull for me to pull to bits to get the gears out of them how's thatChris
Best of luck with all that PE. This looks like a big challenge but seeing your skills I am sure it will come out looking great. BTW when you are dealing with the mechanical aspects of your build where to you buy your axles, and gears from?

Hi chris yourTiger build is coming along nicely , I intend to stay clear of that stuff , will be soldering the brass parts together , to do with the radar or platforms on the main mask. I am gald I don't have that to deal with on my build, not much to the main radar only two . Take care Tony, sent you an email.now for the tricky task of building it tomorrow

AN Hello Scottie yes im gonna need all my luck i can get doin the P/E as its so fragile so gently does it an i'll have to work in slow motion so i dont cause damage to it AN THANK YOU for your comments ScottieChris,
Another great update, your skills show no limits. Good luck with all the PE.

HI Toby well im still at it an its proveing a right S*D to build as the P/E is so fragile an so far been building it for a week now but the instructiions are not easy to under stand an it even gives parts that are not shown in the destructions so ive got to guess where the parts go an ive looked at the pics of the real radar till im blue in the face an still no wiser as its so complex struckure but im gettin thereOMG that looks fiddly and easy to get wrong! Boatman I expect can do this in his sleep though
