๐ part 16 front cabin roof and front window frames and side lockers

here we have the front window frames installed as you will remember in the film these are hinged as Brody climbs out of them in the end once the orca was sinking
i have also installed the front cabin roofs and sides here
last pic shows the small side lockers installed i did these out of a small block of Balsa and grooved them the added a ply lid
all fitted looks real snug against the side walkways
its really starting to look a lot better know
before i forget the main roof and super structure sides have now got beading once painted it will all become one

on this next part i lined and stained the rear deck flooring adding in the hatch as you remember the rear floor comes away with the superstructure to give me more work room inside the hull
i also made the cabin door this will be hinged and operable

As Colin has said Wez colours are bespoke to customer requirements .. just remember though there would have been no metalics back in the 60s ... there is a fairey site I see somewhere as you can still get a Huntsman 31 built obvs with modern stuff oh and 900k in your wallet to spare๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐

as you can see success๐๐๐๐ brilliant
as you can see through the windows on the last pic i will be covering up the forward bulkhead with the interior controls
also worked having the longer prop tube the motor will not interfere with any of the cabin interior and sits low enough for the floor not to be compromised ๐
