They are as well as the strips for angle profiles and T beams all hand cut, unfortunately not by Evergreen.
And this is the fifth and last cover strip, here on B-4.
And so now to the profiles, and there was as next the Rainbird B-2, whose profiles correspond to those of B-1, which also reach to the upper screws belt.
Here the B-2 is already completed, with angular and T profiles.
The same arrangement of the profiles is used on B-3, which is standing on the Blast Deck, here first the angular profiles.
And now follows the B-4, whose profiles are shorter on all three MLPs than that of the other birds, for whatever reason, as you can see here in the photo with Andrew Scheer.
That with the shorter profiles of this bird I had already explained.
Now only the protruding H beams have to be straightened.
And so the nice flock of birds is now finally complete.
And barely fledged, the birds want to swarm out already.
And in celebration of this milestone, I have now got the MLP out of the cupboard to see how the Rainbirds would fit. And I’m very satisfied and mean that they fit quite well.
Only the recesses in the Blast Deck have to be adapted, since they are a bit too small, especially for the A-2. And with paint finish all things will surely yet look a bit better.
That’s it for today, and this Milestone of course calls for a celebration!
since I will be leaving for Washington D.C. the day after tomorrow for the first stop on my this year’s USA trip, it’s time to pack my bags, which is why I urgently need to make a break here, and will report back to you when I’ll be back home on November 2nd.
