I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I bought a cheezy set of Rapiograph-type draughtsman felt tip pens at the local Hobby Lobby. They don't work to well on a glossy surface so I treid wiping the paint job down with denatured alchohol to erase the mistakes, which worked (sort of). The alchohol did act like a weak de-glosser and the next attempt worked better. I think that being it's Friday the 13th today, I shall find something else to do before I muck this thing up really bad. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 13-Feb-15 12:43 Views : 437 Done with this end. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Parked 13-Feb-15 12:42 Views : 423 A/B duct installed. Two rings of soft solder CA'd to the former to provide gluing surface for the A/B nozzles and the plastic (ex-coke bottle) tail-piece fairing. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 13-Feb-15 12:38 Views : 394 THis is the Afterburne exhaust. I used the "Paint" program to print out a mottled sheet to simulate the exhaust. The flame-holder rings are cardboard and Basswood sticks painted with cheap acyrlics ($0.50 @) from wallyworld. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:27 Views : 524 Here is the first test fit; not bad. I will CA a ring of fine solder to the small end to ensure that it remains circular and give it a little strength. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:25 Views : 499 All shrunk down and ready to trim it out. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:24 Views : 408 I had a little time in the shop yesterday while the LOML was shopping, so I thought that I would do another "Shrinky-Dink' for the Afterburner tail piece. Here is the portion of the Coke bottle over the form before applying heat to it. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:40 Views : 484 Dosen't look like a full 2 days work does it? BTW; when I said that I was machining the parts, it was all done with standard, i.e. full size, turning gouges and machinist files to work down to the final size. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:37 Views : 553 Drilling the center of the tire out. (Looks like a shot from Fine Woodworking doesn't it?) rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:36 Views : 462 Turning the wheels out of Basswood on the lathe. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:34 Views : 486 While I'm waiting for the Gloss White paint to dry: I always try to let white sit for a least a week before I touch it, I started to work on the Landing gear. The progression from left-tp-right: (1) Cut out the shape on the jig-saw, (2) establish the shape of the tire on the lathe, (3) drill the hub hole out to finish the tire, (4) machine the hub to size out of "black" PVC pipe, (5) machine the Hub disc out of 3/16" plexi. The Nose Gear yoke above was assembled during our last snowstorm, all out of styrene. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 29-Jan-15 12:37 Views : 524 SO, here are the three sections of the canopy for the XF-92A. I need to trim them all to fit. One thing that I should have done was lay out the section lines right on the master to give me a guide for cutting them. I know that I have probably forgotten to put in some information, so if you have a question; feel free to ask.
