Warning lights are Styreen rod with Tamyia clear colors. The toggle switches are Styrene tube with fine solder as the bats. Now on to the side consoles and ejection seat. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 17-Mar-15 16:26 Views : 462 After some springtime chores, I got back to the cockpit detailing. The instruments have been reduced using Paint (a tedious trial and error process) and teh bezels were fabricated out of styrene. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 17-Mar-15 14:41 Views : 514 Why we love St. Paddy's day!! rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 14-Mar-15 10:38 Views : 518 Couldn't find a picture of a B.E. 12 w/rockets, but this will get the point across. Wonder how they lit them off? rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 12-Mar-15 11:00 Views : 564 Canadian Northern Flight # 5280. Outbound from New Orleans to Hudson Bay and points North. Spring must be here. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 11-Mar-15 10:31 Views : 619 Test fit on the plane. Not bad if I say so myself. Note to self: CA doesn't stick well to the Coke bottle plastic, use 5-56 canopy glue.

After about four tries at trying to get the bent lams into the correct place, (upper right of picture), I had a"Duh" moment and realised that it would be better to set the bows on the canopy base plate, then sand them to fit the canaopy. That worked much better. I filled in the aft canopy fairing with Duram's water putty as I will need to drill some holes in it for some sort of fittings that are evident on the pictures of that area. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 11-Mar-15 10:20 Views : 498 Starting to figure out how to do the canopy. Coke bottle canopy and 1/32" Bass laminated over forms that were lifted off of the canopy master. I used soft Plumbers solder to duplicate the the cross-sections to transfer to my bending forms. Soaked the Bass in warm water for about 10 minutes, clamped them to the forms then popped them into the oven at 180 deg. F for about 20 minutes to dry out the bass. Worked great. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 06-Mar-15 10:13 Views : 512 I recall seeing a sign in West Texas that said something to the effect of "Do not run over Armadillos to prevent damage to vehicles". rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 04-Mar-15 16:49 Views : 512 I now have all of teh L/G doors constructed but are still figuring out the hinges and actuators. BOuncing around between items, I also now ready to start on the cockpit with the instruments printed out and teh Inst. panel picture test having been test-fit for the proper size. Off-camera, I have some laminated bows for the canopy drying on their forms. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 04-Mar-15 16:41 Views : 607 Decals finally applied, definently helped to get the right amount of fixative on the decals.
