I have alot of respect for you folks that have carved enough of these for four engines. Just one was a big job for me.

Great exhaust stacks!

Tis is cool! The skins are smooth as a baby's butt.
Barnstormer, Comment for image # 704710 Mar 08 23:22
Thanks, not to exact scale, but pretty close. I guess they will do for this build. I have learned so much on this one, my first try at skining the wing, planking the fuse, filling priming and sanding for the smooth finish, and now casting with plasic resin. So many great people on V.A. to learn from.

Nice work Barnstormer, they look pretty good.

If you look back at my earlier posts you can see the original part, my cast part, and the Guillows alternitive.

Hey John I cast the manifold from an origanal part out of a 1/32 scale plastic P-40 kit using the same type system SteveM has been using.

I kind of got a sick feeling in my stomach as I was cutting a slot in the side of the fuse to receive the exhaust, but I guess it came out alright. Now to get the other side right.

How did you make or where did you get the manifold?

Test fit of the new exhaust manifold.

I've been testing my hand at casting plastic resin parts today. Top is an exhaust manifold from a 1/32 scale plastic P-40 kit, middle is my repro, bottom is Guillow's kit supplied.
