The L/G will be cross-pinned through the 1/4" ply bulkheads when I get that far. Once I test mounted the wings the actual size of this model suprissed me. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 12-Jan-15 14:51 |  | | Views : 460 | | OK. The wings are started, they will be sheeted with 1/16" hard stock. The main gear wheels are starting to take shape. Again, there just are not many photos of this A/C to work from so any "rivet counters" ou there will have a hay-day with the wells. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 10-Jan-15 10:08 |  | | Views : 425 | | After a cup of coffee and muttering a few choice phrases, I tried my luck on the lathe again: success! I had to laminate a poplar wood blank to make the Afterburner cone due to it's height. Turned out pretty good if I say so myself. THese will be attached later after all the planking is completed and the Exhaust duct/flame-holder has been fabricated and installed. |

This is a totaaly new process to me: SLip the form into a soft-drink 2 liter bottle that has been cut off at both ends then apply heat from a heat gun and teh plastic magically shrinks the shape of the master. Cool! |
