It was above the minimum reccomended temperature so I shook the can till my arm was tired and tried again. As you can see, the effort was worth it. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 16-Mar-11 22:15 Views : 1493 The LHS wanted $8 for a can of Krylon primer so I got this can of Rust-Oleum engine primer from the home improvement store for $5.50. As you can see, the first test piece was a disaster. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 16-Mar-11 22:13 Views : 1554 I took a scrap of silver SoLite to the LHS and found the best color match that I could. Later I realized it was for polycarbonate RC car shells, but it didn't hurt the extra engine nacelle I tested it on, just took a lot of coats to get good color.

SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 13-Mar-11 20:11 Views : 1674 Nice and smooth, got to love Solite for these smaller models. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 13-Mar-11 20:10 Views : 1548 Starting to wonder if I really do want clear windows. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 13-Mar-11 20:08 Views : 1558 I thought I could cover the access hatch with Solite, but as you can so it just doesn't stick so I'll have to use spray paint. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 13-Mar-11 20:07 Views : 1530 I like how it turned out here at the fuselage exit point. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 13-Mar-11 20:06 Views : 924 The LHS carries much of the Model Shipways products so I grabbed this 0.028" Nylon rigging line to use for my pull-pull rudder so as no not use up any of the kit supplied rigging line in case there wasn't enough provided for both uses. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 11-Mar-11 19:42 Views : 985 Small pieces of Sullivan cable tubing guide the rudder pull-pull lines where they exit the fuselage. The plans give no guidance on this exit so I borrowed ideas from the builds of others. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 11-Mar-11 19:40 Views : 996 Thread is temporary till I find something more suitable. Brass rod provieds a means to tighten and rough trim. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 08-Mar-11 13:56 Views : 1050 Everything seems to fit together nicely. The directions say that the next step is to cover, but I need to figure out the rudder pull-pull lines first. The directions never address installing the pull-pull lines. Weight as shown here is 8.65 oz. Page (13 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
