I had set myself a shedule to finish the first two valkyries by the end of february, but the supplies i ordered didn't turn up in time and the usual pub-shaped distractions messed up plans somewhat. So far i think i've been able to put in around 15ish hours work on the first (the prototype really) but i'm pleased with whats been done.
Looking at how progress is going so far it looks like it'll take longer to build them that i thought, so i'm now aiming to have finished the first pair by the end of March.
The wing and engine section was made first and came together really easily:
Still need to make the wingtips and the vertical tail sections and then i can start to fill the gaps in preparation for laying panels and detailing. The outer wings are removeable and come off at the engine to help with storage.
Over the last few days i've been able to start work on the fuselage:
Since the pictures were taken i've added pipework along the roof, and I want to add more detailing on the interior before closing it up, but i'm not sure exactly what. Probably a door to the pilots cabin on the back wall and some seating down the sides, but other than that i'm not sure. Any suggestions?
I've magnetised the Fuselage to the wings too, really happy as i was worried this wouldn't work, but its worked almost perfectly
Still kinda worried it'll prove too weak a join once i finish sticking everything to the fuselage, but i'll have to see how it goes
Hoping to get more done by the end of the week, i'll try and get more shots up if i do.
