Note that the upper engine cowling has been removed. I plan to 3D print that, along with the cockpit combing. Also note that I added a lot of bracing between the formers. I’ve found in the past that when applying the tissue and shrinking it, the stringers on the edges will pull in and give a rippled effect. |
| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 11-Apr-21 20:37 |  | | Views : 574 | | Started work on the Rumpler kit this weekend. I had forgotten the quality of these kits. I think someone said, “Die Crushed” a couple of weeks ago, and that is what I found. Even a kit from the late 60’s still had pretty bad die cutting! I spent a lot of time rebuilding the fuse formers after pieces between stringers broke off while trying to cut them free of the sheet! But time spent here to get them right saves a lot of time when coverings. And besides, it’s not a race! |
