| John M Oshust | Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata | Parked | 17-Feb-08 18:36 |  | | Views : 1626 | | Back in the building business. Wing spars roughed out. The Rat is sure going to have some big wings! |
| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:26 |  | | Views : 1574 | | The seat in the early P-40s were often left unpainted. The seat belts are Eduard 1/24th scale photo etched. |
| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:18 |  | | Views : 1378 | | Sure enough there was a lot of trimming and refitting to get all the pieces to fit properly. |
| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:13 |  | | Views : 1269 | | I installed the cockpit before I papered the fuselage, I figured all the handling could loosen the tightness of the paper. |

| David Duckett | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:05 |  | | Views : 1391 | | Some filler on the bottom where the struts fit |
| David Duckett | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:03 |  | | Views : 1227 | | Wingtips and center section are several layers of balsa, sanded and Micro-Fill smeared on and sanded smooth when dry. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 1410 | | One nacelle complete. The grillwork is very rigid and just test fitted. Will be permanently installed as one of the Mossies final details, probably in 2009 at this rate. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:33 |  | | Views : 1393 | | The plastic becomes mighty thin at the edges after sanding. Look close, the tabs were wonderful alignment strips and provided more area for glue up at seams. Priceless. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 14:50 |  | | Views : 1441 | | After all trial fitting and shaping, the 1/16" balsa sheet is glued into position to reinforce thin nacelle sides during glue up. Will also back-up any filler required. Thank you DD. |
