We will see what they look like under a coat of RustOleum silver enamel paint. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 24-Mar-16 07:37 Views : 474 Day 5 of Spring in NW Iowa rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 18-Mar-16 11:13 Views : 565 All of the "metal" structures primed and sanded to 600 grit W&D. Now to add the little details like rivets (from MicroMark after seeing how they looked on Sky's SE5A) and a few things like louvers and hand-holds. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 11-Mar-16 13:32 Views : 477 These are the whells that I will be using. They even have the valve stems. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 11-Mar-16 13:28 Views : 473 I can't belive that I found a picture of the original Alaskan Survey emblem! Now I have to figure out how to manipulate it in "Paint" to make the background white. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 03-Mar-16 07:36 Views : 477 I tend to get into a OCD mode when reasearching a plane. It always seems that you find the perfect detail shot AFTER you need it. Last Sunday I finally happened to find a good picture of the float that showed that I had the wheel wells in the wrong shape. A little styrene and body putty filled in the erroneous shape so now I can move on. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 03-Mar-16 07:30 Views : 440 Finished adding some details to the hull. Movie line from someone comes to mind: "A man's got ta know his limitations". Laid on the first coat of Liquatex primer. I am impressed with the way that the Liquatex goes on and covers; Thanks for the recommendation DD. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 26-Feb-16 11:00 Views : 641 TEst fit of all the components. I stiil need to fab the drag-links that go into the two holes of the hub up to the front of the wheel well.. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 26-Feb-16 10:59 Views : 472 Spent the last two days in my "machine shop" fabricating the L/G out of K&S brass tubing and strap. Getting there. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 23-Feb-16 11:34 Views : 519 Oh Yea, I made whole new set of tail-feathers cuz I didn't like the first set. I suppose now it's time to work on the landing gear (sigh). rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 23-Feb-16 11:32 Views : 493 About a week later, I now have a new float that is straight. Been adding details out of styrene to the float and carved a motor mount ring out of basswood. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 23-Feb-16 11:30 Views : 460 I started to mate teh fuse to the float hull and realized that the float had a distinct curve in the keel (Bannana Boat?). So, I started all over again, including making new & better masters for the wheel wells. Page (14 in total) :  <<   2   3   4   5   6  [ 7 ]  8   9   10   11   12   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
