A built Vario MD 900 kit (by Vario)
The real thing in UK Air Support Colours
October 10, 2009
Another bit gloomy day, so back into the hanger to continue
the build...
Today was going to be a totally panels day, cutting out the
doors for the other side, and doing the indent work on the inside of
all doors to allow the glazing to sit in there without spoiling the
nice flush fit of the doors. I also worked on the Turbine
exhaust area, so they will soon be ready for the exhaust stubs
themselves.

The left hand turbine exhaust
with the wooden ormer fitted and almost shaped in correctly
now. |
| Here is the inside of the
starboard pilots door with the recessing finished ready to
accept the glazing as and when it is time to do that |
 |
 |
Here is the starboard side rear
door, now in base colour coat, and also ready for glazing
with all recessing finished. |
| The starboard pilots door in
base colour coat, and recessed ready for glazing |

The Port side with the newly
cut out doors trimmed in pretty nice and flush to the body.
As you can see, I did not get around to cutting out the
glazing apertures in these doors today. |
| And for completeness, the
starboard side with base coated doors fitted in place to
show the flush fit |
 |

And to finish
off today's pictures, the same shot from the rear, which shows the
rear door fitting rather more clearly. So far I am pleased
with the door fittings, which shows that Vario take a lot of care to
mark the doors out and the fuselage cut out areas very
accurately. I have really only had to fine trim both the doors
and apertures to get them to fit exactly. The harder part is
getting them to be nice and flush/
