I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

It helps to have taken drafting to read plans. The text is very dense. Parts aren't numbered. In some cases just vaguely described. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 11-Jan-10 09:16 Views : 670 140 parts listed. Wood, cardboard, manila paper, plastic. A multi-media kit long before they were in vogue. Creosotewind Rogers 40mm Bofors AA cannon Parked 11-Jan-10 09:14 Views : 821 Something for the bad guys to shoot at. And something to shoot back at them. An old kit from the 1940s. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:43 Views : 1897 The biggest adjustment to make. I let the strings "flow" naturally to form the elegant shape of the fuselage. But somehow that former is way undersized. So back to the drawing board. And at the front of the picture you can see that the first intake opening broke off. I need to rethink the wing root so that the formers with their large intake cutouts are sturdier. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:40 Views : 1714 I made some marks where I need to move the stringer notches so that the stringers fit more gracefully along the fuselage. I'm trying to make the parts interlock and buid with a minimum amount of fuss. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:38 Views : 1752 Sorry for the blurry shot. This shows the rudimentary cockpit. It does have the side counsols, seat and armored back and the control panel. Just not installed yet. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:36 Views : 1744 Rear view. I think the graceful curves of the tail area are what attracted me to this plane. And that also made drawing the parts a bit of a bear. The tail has a slight curve to it from top to bottom, and then there is a concave shape just above the tailcone. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:34 Views : 1934 Front view. Early in the construction I was getting disappointed at how sloppy the stringers were lining up. Then I realized I was mis-aligning some of them. Overall I'm pretty happy with the look, but will be making a few changes for better fit and cleaner building. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:31 Views : 1853 The stringers are all in place. Overall length is 26 1/2 inches. With the nose cone added, it will be about 28 inches overall. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:30 Views : 1755 Starting to make notes to myself for changes to parts and the drawings. These are half size prints on 11x17 paper. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:29 Views : 1741 Test fitting the wing root. I'm starting to find a few pieces that need minor adjustments, and some that need major adjustments.
