I sliced it off and made a new one out of aluminum. I added one to the other side. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 24-Sep-14 19:13 Views : 432 Start of the pilot. I feel a bit like Dr. Frankenstein. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:55 Views : 551 More foam filling at the tail cone area. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:55 Views : 575 I was surprised with just minimal fuss the plastic cockpit fit in the airplane. Almost like they were made for each other. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:53 Views : 547 Test fitting inside the cockpit. A lot of foam had to be cut away so the new cockpit would fit. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:51 Views : 621 The basic form of the AMT/Italerie/ESCI cockpit.

Unfortunately, these will be lost in the glassing and final finishing. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:46 Views : 513 The tail, mechanical openings are filled with either balsa or green florists foam, sanded then glassed over. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 25-Aug-14 14:44 Views : 478 The original wing (left) and the revised wing. The exposed foam becomes pretty fragile at this point. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 24-Aug-14 18:42 Views : 606 To make the model more sturdy, I'll cover it with glass cloth and this Minwax Polycrylic. It is water-based, and does not smell. Easy application and cleanup. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 24-Aug-14 18:41 Views : 491 Some of the reference books I'll be using.
