| How about giving us a "Panel Lines for Dummies" course, professor? I, for one, would love to know how you do it without smearing ink everywhere, especially on curved surfaces. Beautiful model, DD. |

| Hi David, this is awesome! Serious question, do you take requests? |

| Many thanks!! John O. Once remarked that building a motor is like a kit within a kit. I’m convinced the different aspects of building one of these require different approaches and times. After 90, more or less, of these I am finally comfortable approaching the panel line phase of a build. |

| As usual, DD, beautiful work. The panel lines always amaze me. I think I'm still a bit too shaky to try that that. Very impressive. |

| I agree with Dfell - those panel lines are top notch as always! You must have very steady hand David. Beautiful job as ever..... |

| Thanks. It's an unknown to me but does have some strange lines which is just fine. For years, I thought the Zero was the only plane they made. |

| The framework is all 1/16" and the bottom of the wing is flat. Pieces cut for the bottom need to fit basically flat and as it's all flat, minimum sanding is required to smooth it all out. The top of the wing is curved so all pieces used need to be thick enough to handle the curve, The center of the infill piece should fit level with the top of the rib allowing enough wood that, when sanded, will completely fill the area. 3/32" stock works well giving you the comfort of knowing it's too high and can be easily sanded smooth. Occasionally thicker wood is used as required. |

| Why the difference? Or is it just what you had on hand? |

| Looking good DD! |

| They are all from EBay. |

| Thank you. Straight from a newly opened tub is what it should be and that’s how I use it. Over time it will start to dry but a couple of drops of water stirred in will bring it back. Let it dry thoroughly before sanding. |

| Sorry, auto correct. Do you thin with anything?
|
| crob, Comment for image # 43534 | 22 Oct 21 06:05 |
| Hi David, when applying the spackle, do you think with anything? Or, just run it straight from the container? I'm at this stage now on the stang and it's my next big hurtle.
Thanks in advance, also... fantastic build! |
