I'll be checking in. Have a fun summer!!! rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 19-May-16 19:48 Views : 638 The guys at the VA are in the minor leagues when it comes to OCD (or being anal retentive): The picture is from Jim Landoni of Denver, and is one of many that document his build of a 1/16 JN-4. You can ind it on Flickr under the "great Landoni" rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 13-May-16 16:09 Views : 853 BiPlane Guy; If you want a Scientific Wild Ass Guess:I would say that is a cover for the fuel tank hold-down. Look at the picutre and you will see the two brackets on the centerline of the wing that correspond to the shape on your model. Looking at other PT-17 pictures shows that there are thru-bolts through the U-channel to retain the tank. I think. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 12-May-16 11:27 Views : 673 Tedious but once I got the system figured out, it didn't take all that long. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 12-May-16 11:25 Views : 560 Well, after about 9600 "stiches" and over 200 surface tapes, (but who's counting), I believe that I can move on. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 26-Apr-16 16:56 Views : 629 Another day or so to get the cabane struts placed and aligned. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 26-Apr-16 16:55 Views : 660 Biplane Guy, I 've been down the slope for decades (Used to be a plastic modeler). Example here ( a week of my life that I'll never get back) is of the rigging clevises for my Loening. Each clevis took 9 separate operations and three jigs to make. But it's FUN!!! rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 06-Apr-16 22:10 Views : 646 Boy, I am glad that the wings don't have any rivets! Used up 1 1/2 sheets of the Micromark rivets to get to this point. I thnik that it will take about another 30 inches of rivets to finish up. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 03-Apr-16 11:32 Views : 653 I have been riveted to the main float today. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 31-Mar-16 14:06 Views : 527 Rivets under paint. I used the smallest rivets on the sheet so the bigger ones, that will be applied to the fuselage should look even better. When the silver paint dries (forever) I will try a wash of black water-based paint and dry-brush them to see how they "pop". rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 31-Mar-16 14:04 Views : 506 These are engine compartment vent louvers in the raw. Used some 1/8" dowel, planed it flat on two sides and drew them down. It's going to be a little bit fiddly to sand them out.
