SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 20-Feb-08 12:29 | | Views : 1260 | I ended up having to remake the mold half that had air bubble issues. After a coat of paint you wouldn't know which was the original. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 22:07 | | Views : 1186 | The mold halves. The one on the right came out great but the one on the left has air bubble issues. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 18:06 | | Views : 1182 | In about 4 hours (7pm PST) the top half will be cured and I can start casting some resin. Rubber mold cost is about $6, not too bad but don't go crazy with it. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 18:04 | | Views : 1275 | Alignment lugs carved out and rubber-to-rubber release agent applied. Don't worry, I'll add this whole process to my web page on duplicating plastic parts. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 13:55 | | Views : 1190 | Waiting for the first half of the mold to cure. Do any other Fokkers out there need a cowl besides DD and myself? |

SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 10-Feb-08 17:26 | | Views : 1153 | The back. Notice that it is not vacuum formed and the "WW9" printing indicates that this is an original kit cowl. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 10-Feb-08 17:25 | | Views : 1138 | David, this cowl has more detail, but is it enough? If it is, I can make one for you and one for me, possibly from CR-600. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 10-Feb-08 17:23 | | Views : 1153 | My Fokker D-VIII kit. The instructions are a photocopy which helped scare off the kit collectors. Decals are dated "78830", that means 1978? |
