guitarlute101 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Hi everyone, I have the engine springs done and I picked up a Rexx Short Exhaust to top it off................ Mark
rick geisler Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Nice work on those springs Mark! That exhaust looks super! RAGIII
Administrators Fran Posted October 2, 2015 Administrators Posted October 2, 2015 Wow!!!those springs just look fantastic!! How?tell us How?
Verbeek Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Nope, don't tell! Otherwise we have no excuse to do it to!
guitarlute101 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Hi everyone, I had time this week to enlarge the rudder...................... I used a paper cutout from a scaled up photocopy to make the pattern...... Then I did some putty filling with regular Automotive Glazing and Spot Putty (much cheaper that the Green Putty)................. Then a few coats of Mr. Primer Surfacer 1000 and she's ready to go....I might add thin strips of clear decal to simulate ribs but I'll test it on something first to make sure... All of the wings and flying surfaces will be ready to paint once I check out the rib test and finalize the rudder. More soon, Mark 2
rick geisler Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Nice work on the rudder Mark! Looking forward to your next update! RAGIII
guitarlute101 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks Rick! I was waiting for a few items to arrive to continue the build............... My revised L.V.G. under wing decals and custom photo etch door and window frames (from pktinyland) have arrived. I needed to wait for the PE so I could make sure the cutouts for the door and windows matched. I now have everything I need to finish the build. More soon, Mark
Ssasho0 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Mark, excellent update, those PE doors will really make it stand out even more!
guitarlute101 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks guys! I removed the door and outer window PE to see how they line up and, just as I thought, I will have to work on the window openings in the plastic vac part a little more.... Mark 6
Jamme Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Hi, Great skill's you have ! Really nice job. Congrats, Jamme
guitarlute101 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm really enjoying this build. @George - I will be leaving the door open on this build for sure. I just need to widen the opening a little more. Mark
FarEast Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Looking fantastic can't wait to see all the finished trim and coach works. This era really was the epitome of class in my opinion.
Administrators Fran Posted November 23, 2015 Administrators Posted November 23, 2015 Almost a month with no update!! please tell me that It´s just a small pause!!
guitarlute101 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay, free time has been at a premium this month. Here are the wings, more soon, Mark 2
Administrators James H Posted November 28, 2015 Administrators Posted November 28, 2015 Mark, you are one sick puppy, but I love it! This is probably my favourite ever conversion. 2
Administrators Fran Posted December 1, 2015 Administrators Posted December 1, 2015 Insane!!!! love it!!!
Umlaufmotor Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Yepp, very nice built -- absolutely cool work on this fine kit!!!! Servus Bertl
guitarlute101 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 Thanks Fran and Bertl! That means a lot coming from you two, I'm honored. Here is the build as it stands right now. I definitely won't make the deadline but I didn't want to rush anything along just to make the deadline. My work schedule eases up considerably this Friday so my plan is to have the build complete by the end of the year. My sincerest thanks to everyone who followed along and gave me encouragement along the way. Thanks!!! Mark 2
