Time for an up date ���.
Moving on from the crane {but returning later to the roof space}
I showed a picture of the fire fighting control position close to the hanger entrance. Well that is the focus of our attention. the first job in hand was to build the frame for the door tracks as the doors will spend most of their time tucked away at the top of the hanger and all of this will be exposed. .
The detail parts in the picture shown above are now added to the edge of the opening. .
The Roof is temporarily place into position over all the internal roof details just to ensure all is well before moving on to the next stage.
Each of the basic parts as seen in the above picture, including the cylinder and hose reel are measured, cut and prepared.
The parts for the cylinder and hose reel are assembled.
Measuring and cutting the pipe work is a little more problematic as the pipes have to marry in to a second cylinder mounted onto the walkway but trace a path around a square container above the fire control point.
Material for this pipe is copper tube and easily bent to shape.
One of the pipes is {brass 1mm OD} is teased in to shape and will be attached to the cylinder.
The entire assembly thus far.
The hose reel is an assembly on its own.
First each of the sides forming the reel where cut using a compass cutter
As only one face of the reel is exposed the locations for the circular outer ring of bolt heads was dilled using a pin vice
Here is that prepared exposed face of the reel with the remainder of the parts ready for assembly.
The inner section of the reel in fitted.
The two outer parts of the reel are brought together as one
The remainder of the fittings are added which include the centre spindle and the legs.
Just as a reminder I have placed the part completed reel with the picture of the original.
The hose {formed from black covered wire and the spray nozzle} will not be fitted until the hose reel is air brushed.
Now each of the parts constructed can be fitted into their respective locations. They do fit with out any further adjustments {I was surprised to say the least.

More to come...................
I spend more time when looking for parts than the actual building. This is why I always keep postponing it for a long time and my model never gets finished
