| edtherenderman | West Wings Hawker Tempest | Build | 04-Nov-19 14:49 |  | | Views : 3722 | | I painted the parts separately. For the blades, I painted a gray primer and then painted the yellow on that. After it dried, I masked it and painted the black. Results are pretty good. I painted all the parts with Krylon satin finish to replicate the look of the rest of the airplane. |
| edtherenderman | West Wings Hawker Tempest | Build | 04-Nov-19 14:47 |  | | Views : 3744 | | Here are the parts after removal from the support material and a light sanding and fitting. |
| edtherenderman | West Wings Hawker Tempest | Build | 04-Nov-19 14:46 |  | | Views : 4432 | | Like the nose and exhaust, I decided to model and print the propeller and spinner using my 3D modeling tools and 3D printer. Here is a picture of the propeller blades still attached to their supports and on the build platform. I had already printed the spinner in another batch with propeller blades that I didn’t like the shape of. These are the updated version. |

| David Duckett | Dumas Kit #502, Republic F-105 Thunderchief | Build | 01-Nov-19 12:47 |  | | Views : 748 | | Tops of the wings are finished. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 31-Oct-19 15:28 |  | | Views : 767 | | Denmark still. Was able to fly the "Thermite" at the beach today. Built this years ago. It's somewhere here on VA squeezed into another build. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 30-Oct-19 11:50 |  | | Views : 801 | | Horizontal Stabilizer. Laminate, Notch, Fit rib blanks.... This wil be a "Full Flying" Stabilizer. The Sub-ribs will be trimmed to length after the ribs are notched for the 1/6" square spruce spars. I wil be curved to match the wing spar. The airfoil will be shaped free-hand after everything is bonded. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 28-Oct-19 17:27 |  | | Views : 916 | | Since this is still on the "Holiday" build thread... I was able to fly the actual "Holiday" from the original build hereon VA in Denmark. So this model was framed up in Maui 10 years ago, finished in California, and now has flown "Internationally"! It must have about 600+ flights on it. I just gave it a rebuild so it should go another few hundred. If the Wind and Radio gods allow it!! haha |
