Default RE: 1/3 Vickers F.B.19 MKII

I have been working a some details. I made the cowl ring and reinforcing trim around the slots. As you can see no rivets or screws were used. Instead a clip arrangement on the inside of the cowl was used. I started working on the Challenger Interrupter gear. I made the tear drop cover from a block of balsa. I will add detail to it since it was hinged to open to service the gears inside. The push rod was inside a tube which eventually operates the firing pin via some mechanical stuff. I still have to make that. I have also installed all the control wires which are 175# test, 49 strand, Shark leader. Waiting on some fabric so I can start that and all the little eyelets. Stay tuned!
