| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 26-Jan-10 22:11 |  | | Views : 10159 | | Pushrods are installed, waiting for the tailfeathers glue to dry, and the elevator to straighten out. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 26-Jan-10 20:09 |  | | Views : 11340 | | The Hellcat is getting a little portly. Recovering the fuselage in silkspan and two layers of thinned nitrate dope on everything added about 0.2 oz., the tailfeather push rods add another 0.2 oz. or so. The only thing missing from this picture is paint. This is the first plane that I have treated with nitrate dope. In fact, it was a mix of 50% nitrate dope, 25% thinner, and 25% retarder. |
