No need for complex mathematics. Just grab the former and roll it over the first strip and .... Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 21:02 Views : 958 The plans and the whole frame calls for this piece to be installed. Solution? Laminated strips to the exact same shape as the former. Now, you're probably going to say "Yeah, but because the strips are laminated on the outside circumference of the part, that'll make the final result bigger than the original. Hope you kept in mind my previous posts, that the outline of the fuselage on Guillow's fuselage is slightly more slim than the true outline as compared to the 3-views. Sooo, This should (hopefully) work out with the planking an all..... Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 20:58 Views : 1042 Here's a good side view of the same part on top of the plans. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 20:57 Views : 942 B-8 is the former that is used to help shape the fuselage around the front windshield and often mistook for the instrument panel. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Reference 08-Jun-18 20:55 Views : 976 A close up of the cockpit area shows the coaming around the front windshield to be at an angle. This is where a lot of modelers make a mistake and "assume" this also doubles as the instrument panel. The instrument panel is more vertical and its also located i"inside" or under the coaming. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 08:43 Views : 608 I Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 08:41 Views : 518 Not exactly a sharp image, but wanted to show that I trimmed away much of the longeron around the cockpit area. It's my intent, to try the "drop box" method of installing the cockpit. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-18 08:33 Views : 572 The build commences. Finally getting to cut and glue wood. It's been awhile..... Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Reference 08-Jun-18 08:32 Views : 605 Another "slight" difference was how the belly scoop faired into the lower fuselage. The Guillow's shows a rather sharp curve ending into the lower belly, whereas the 3-views shows a more modest blending. I'm going with the 3-views. Shouldn't be too hard to handle.... I hope Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Reference 08-Jun-18 08:29 Views : 527 As seen from my previous post, the vertical tails are nearly exact in overall dimensions Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Reference 08-Jun-18 08:28 Views : 482 Surprisingly, the vertical tails match perfectly... Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 900 - P-51 Mustang Reference 08-Jun-18 08:27 Views : 480 The differences become more apparent. Since it's my intentions to both infill and over-plank the fuselage, I decided not to enlarge most of the formers. Instead, the planking and the added thickness with compensate for me (or so the theory goes). Page (56 in total) :  1  [ 2 ]  3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
