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

It doesn't fly, but it lights up the room real nice. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 05-Mar-09 19:25 Views : 999 One more of Ted's PT-13. It will be built as a float plane. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 05-Mar-09 19:24 Views : 935 The final models, when used by the military, were to be painted black. The overall silhouette was more important than color details. Quick recognition was the key.

Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 05-Mar-09 19:22 Views : 965 More solids from frwyflyer. Ted's comments: I D model plans. There are basically 2 sheets. A cover sheet that shows construction and small detail patterns and the 1/72 patterns for the pieces. Bigger models of course have more pattern sheets. I'm not sure how much you know about this program. The plans were intended for wood shop students in high and junior high school. They had access to many power tools (saws and lathes) to make identification models for the armed services. There was a very serious judging and acceptance inspection prior to being accepted by the military. Some where deep down in the basement I have much of that information. I didn't participate by making models as I was way too young. My father got some of these plans and we would carve airplanes from orange crates. They were made from white pine or sugar pine, which was easy to cut and carve. I started on a P-47 and when I was finished it could have been any monoplane. My Dads P-47 of course really looked like a P-47 and got me "hooked" on making my own airplanes from crate wood as opposed to kits. Later I started the kit building.

Ted's comments: I have been silver soldering the birdcage for the PT-13 and have both sides almost completed. I need to trial fit the birdcage into the fuselage. I had the plans enlarged from a 8 x 11 magazine article to 30". There is 1/4" error factor as the enlarged plans have a line width of 1/8 inch. Happens all the time and a little fudging may actually turn out to be correct. I ran out of .010 x .040 evergreen strips for the Ryan. I'll get some at the hobby shop this afternoon to finish the Ryan. I have learned quite a bit about the process. Tom, at Micro West was the one who showed me how he did it, but I have never tried to do it until now. I need to remove about 7 strips from the underside of one wing to make a correction. For the PT-13 I will cut my own strips out of .030 stock that I have around. I need a whole bunch and the hobby shop will too expensive and probably not have enough to do the job.

Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 05-Mar-09 19:15 Views : 962 The next several photos are not mine, but frwyflyer's. I met Ted through eBay. We bid on several of the same models. He contacted me and we've become friends. Here is a solid version on the Guillows PT-17. Ted will fill in further info.
