A bit more complicated that probably needs to be. I may simplify the construction. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:26 Views : 1762 Basic formers in place. Starting on the stringers. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:25 Views : 1691 Working on the tail. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 10-Jul-09 16:25 Views : 1085 Beginning test fit of parts. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 01-Jun-09 10:40 Views : 892 Overall look at the etched sheets. This is for 1/2 of the plane. the final will need two of each sheet. The horizontal stabilizer is a multi-piece laminate that will be sanded to shape. Everything else is pretty typical for a balsa plane.

Believe it or not, this was the first indication for me on the actual size of the model. Up to this point, everything was done on the computer, so I didn't have a good reference of scale in the actual world. The tanks are about 7 1/4" and look like the pins from an old Skittlebowl game. The wood for both the tanks and nose cones is jelutong. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 01-Jun-09 10:32 Views : 886 Drawing details for the fuel tanks. Both the nose cone and tank drawings were sent to Frwyflyr to turn on his lathe.

I intended for the wheels to have relieve via a deep etch. On this sheet, the balsa is only etched on the surface. If they can't deep etch the wood, I'll switch to plastic for some of the parts. That's what I used to make the engine fins on my Piper. Creosotewind Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther Parked 29-May-09 17:59 Views : 1326 My intent at this point is to only build a half model, to make sure everything fits together. I'll be making adjustments during that build. The first full models will go to Poppy and Ted, or FrwyFlyr, who has been a tremendous help as you'll see in upcoming photos.
