When attaching the planks, I applied a bead of thinned titebond glue to one mating edge with a small paintbrush the placed a dab of medium viscosity CA to each former and squeezed the planks tight and pinned them. The medium viscosity CA (gap-filling) gives you enough time to lay the plank on and pin it. If you don't dawdle :-) rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:41 Views : 377 The bevels are switched on alternating strips. I made some planks that were over 20 inches long for the P-47. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:39 Views : 369 Here is the angle achieved for the planking. BTW, depending on how big of radius the former has, you can strip the balsa up to 3/8" wide. The piece shown is about 3/16" wide. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:36 Views : 341 Gives you a cutting angle like such. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:32 Views : 370 Anyway: Hot-glues a piece of 1/8" X 1/4" to the base of the balsa stripper.

Totalled out the Camry last Sunday nite. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 07:22 Views : 362 Business end. Tried to get the shape of the cowl right. Suprisingly, I could find very few pics looking directly into the cowl that would help with the shaping of the cowl. Motor mount out of 1/8" lite-ply. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 07:19 Views : 303 P-47: First coat of spackling has been smoothed off. Need to cut the holes for vents and wings. THis will be a flier (I hope). THe cowling is held on with magnets as is the access hatch. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 22-Feb-18 11:54 Views : 389 and finally; Started on a 34 inch WS BALSA P-47 yesterday. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 22-Feb-18 11:53 Views : 402 When the ice goes away, I can fly this one off the pond. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 22-Feb-18 11:52 Views : 363 and: Another 42 inch foamie on skis. We've got lots of snow but below Zero temps so I haven't flown this one yet. Page (4 in total) :  1  [ 2 ]  3   4  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
