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

BTW; I bought some Testors brush-on acrylic "aluminum", don't bother. I'll be airbrushing them with good old solvent based paint. The nose gear jig will alos serve as it's mounting base when installed in the gear well. And I still need tomount the retraction cylinder on the nose gear llinkage (I forgot to do that until I looked at the image just now). Oh Well. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 16-Feb-15 16:08 Views : 503 Must be the day for Landing Gear! Here is the final parts breakdown for the main L.G w/ TIre & Hub, disc brake setup and anti-shimmy sissors. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 13-Feb-15 12:51 Views : 578 Started to lay out the panel lines. I bought a cheezy set of Rapiograph-type draughtsman felt tip pens at the local Hobby Lobby. They don't work to well on a glossy surface so I treid wiping the paint job down with denatured alchohol to erase the mistakes, which worked (sort of). The alchohol did act like a weak de-glosser and the next attempt worked better. I think that being it's Friday the 13th today, I shall find something else to do before I muck this thing up really bad. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 13-Feb-15 12:43 Views : 499 Done with this end. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Parked 13-Feb-15 12:42 Views : 486 A/B duct installed. Two rings of soft solder CA'd to the former to provide gluing surface for the A/B nozzles and the plastic (ex-coke bottle) tail-piece fairing.

I used the "Paint" program to print out a mottled sheet to simulate the exhaust. The flame-holder rings are cardboard and Basswood sticks painted with cheap acyrlics ($0.50 @) from wallyworld. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:27 Views : 586 Here is the first test fit; not bad. I will CA a ring of fine solder to the small end to ensure that it remains circular and give it a little strength. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:25 Views : 560 All shrunk down and ready to trim it out. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 09-Feb-15 10:24 Views : 463 I had a little time in the shop yesterday while the LOML was shopping, so I thought that I would do another "Shrinky-Dink' for the Afterburner tail piece. Here is the portion of the Coke bottle over the form before applying heat to it. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:40 Views : 544 Dosen't look like a full 2 days work does it? BTW; when I said that I was machining the parts, it was all done with standard, i.e. full size, turning gouges and machinist files to work down to the final size. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 07-Feb-15 13:37 Views : 615 Drilling the center of the tire out.
