Using Mr. Ducketts term..."plug in" deviation for the nose wheel. Note complexity of plan layout.

I marked the location of the exhausts with a pin and it's now headed to the paint shop.

The instructions have been the same as long as I can remember, carve and sand to shape. It's fairly easy but slow is the best approach. I glued the sanded to shape guns onto the wing with Testors and the CA with kicker. The final step was to lay in some filler where they join the wing and then a couple of coats of dope on them.

I start with a new blade for this stuff. Fortunately it's very good wood.

When the covering with silkspan was complete I brushed on two coats of clear nitrate dope and allowed it to dry overnight. The next day I sanded it with 320 wet/dry sandpaper and put on three more coats. The day after it was all sanded again and this is after 5 coats of dope. Running your fingers over the surface is the best way to insure it's all smooth, at least for me cause these old eyes don't see small things easily. The doping process leaves some rough edges on the wings and tail which you can definitely feel. This is after 5 coats of dope.

With a different back ground, it sould be a Ramp shot at Edwards. Now on to the installation of the cockpit innards and finishing up the canopy.

Must get '92 done before starting other projects! These are two of the main L/G doors and the hinges that I fabricated for the Nose Gear doors. The picutres of the real thing showed that the hinges were pretty massive castings which has given me pause for quite some time. The light bulb moment came and I drilled a slightly off-center hole in some Dowel Stock, sawed off thin sections then added the attachment points.

Yes. it's a Duck, this one. The only plane named for a modeler, of course.:-)
