Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Ah, the eternal trap of the Bluebird K7 modeller.
The inlets aren't a semicircle when viewed from the front. They're flat on top across the width of the canopy and bulge out just above where they meet the deck.

Hehe, I guess it's hard to see in that picture, iirc I offset the two rads by about 12mm, perhaps it's easier to see in this pic

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Been looking for scale model to add to collection and found delta bravo models for CN7 & K7, look good but bit pricy, but will be worth it to add to my collection

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Personally I think the Delta stuff is not very accurate looking. Have you looked at Touchwood Models for a K7? Then there's afew variants of CN7 that were done that pop up on ebay. The Bizarre CN7 is very nice. There might be a re-release of the Western Models version in the future.

After a lot of experimentation & about 30 attempts, I think at last I might just have a viable canopy, party time

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
I was talking to the Ruskin Museum last week and they was talking about a chrome K7 that will soon be forsale. Has anyone heard about this?

I couldn't resist any longer, here is my 1/12 scale K7 alongside a ply sponson template for my 1/4.2 scale next project. I'm feeling giddy, I might start going to the gym...

Well sod it, I had some blue foam. Off down into the cellar to cut them out...

Very roughly cut, now where's that sandpaper
