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

Now I'm ready to finsih the fuse planking and move on to the sealer/primer stage. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 17-Jan-15 09:44 Views : 505 Main gear wells done. Ready to sheet the bottom of the wings. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 17-Jan-15 09:42 Views : 446 My new freind in Monterey, Ca. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 14-Jan-15 11:23 Views : 442 Started on the main L/G wells. A few strips to simulate the stringers and faux spars to close off the space. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 14-Jan-15 11:21 Views : 498 TOps of the wings are sheeted. Had to see what it looked like with them on. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 12-Jan-15 14:58 Views : 461 Before I start to sheet the wings, I have to fabricate the wheel wells in the wing. I fabbed a wheel of the correct size on my drill press to check for the well size and clearances, even though the gear will be non-functional. Just kinda fun to whip something like this out. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 12-Jan-15 14:54 Views : 427 A better shot of how the main L/G is mounted into the fuse. 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 : 453 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 : 417 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. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 10-Jan-15 10:00 Views : 444 The finished master with my first attempt at forming the canopy. 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! rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 10-Jan-15 09:57 Views : 391 Next project is to carve the master for the canopy. I used Basswod that I picked up at the local big-box home improvement store. This is a progress shot about a 1/2 hour into the process. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 10-Jan-15 09:54 Views : 446 Here are completed main gears. They need to be cleaned up a little now. The grand plan is to leave these in this form until I have them mounted in the airframe and trued up then I will guzzie them up with plastruct tubing and othe do-dads to give them the correct appearance.
