I made the props from laminating 3 pieces of 3/16 balsa. Then carved and sanded to shape. The "HOW TO" section on this forum was a great help. Left and right assemblies are mirror because engines were counter-rotating to one another. |

| Thanks flyer. This is the first time I've tried this infill & wood putty/filler technique. Once the plastics were put on I added Elmers wood putty to build up to the surface of the plastic, then sanded the seam level. |

| I built/launched a few of these back in grade school, but nothing this big. 35.25" tall. 1.64" dia. I'll snap a few pics of the launch. |

1 day build complete. This was a fun little diversion to work on while watching the Indy 500. I'll go watch the launch tomorrow, then back to the P-38. |

The fins were laser cut 3/32 " really hard balsa. |

A little break from the P-38. My friend asked me if I would build a model rocket for his kids since I'm "into that stuff". I say sure, No problem. Oh by the way...he says..."were launching it tomorrow, for Memorial Day." OK?... I guess...It's not like I'm racing the Ruskies to get a man into space, just a 1 day build. LOL! I'll post more picks tonight. |

Gettin' there. Glad I tried this infill technique. Thank you for the help and advice DD. I should have this down for my next plane. |

Probably need another coat of filler & more sanding. They're not smooth enough (divit free) yet. |
| Pauli72, Image # 26399 | 19 May 12 17:33 |
The 2 fuselages have been sanded, wood filler applied, and sanded again. |

Infill done on center nacelle. I had originally scalloped the formers before deciding to do the infill technique. So I needed to bevel the ends of the infill pieces extra long so they meet one another. I'll know better next time. |
