"Building rudders and flaps." Now that is a sentence I never thought I would utter. But I am busy scratch building the various flying rudders, ailerons, and dangling aerial flaps that will festoon my sci-fi ship.
Here's the general idea of the rudders that will be in place:
The first one is made out of an old tail aileron from a 1/32 Messeerschmitt Bf109, plus the diff housing from a Russian katyushka launching truck.

The next, longer one is scratch built, carved out of a piece of styrene card.
Much more to be done, obviously, but I'm loving not having to slavishly follow instructions on this build!!! Tremendously liberating.
Cheers,
Dave
