Kais Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 G'day from down here. I have a habit of not completing projects. This must NOT turn into my shame file!! Pretty huh. Grist for the mill, more grist, additional flavouring. Wish me blue skies, Here we go Knights!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kais Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Glacial progress. Much head scratching, good set of plans and metres of masking tape have bought me to here. Jumpei Temma's plans printed up to 1/32nd. Dragon bones.Gutted wheel wells. Aires B wheel wells. Fitted until they fitted,corrections and detail to come. D fuselage with B firewall mocked up. Notice how much higher the cowl will be. B firewall from front. Masking tape everywhere.Dragon D nose about to be beaten down. It might be premature, but I think I've found a niche for Dragon's D. Tchau 4 now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Nice start on the wheel wells and the beginnings work on the nose contours. Keep ‘em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 The shape. I hope you don't mind Peter. Putty and prime , iteration number 3 million!! Strangely, the process is quite cathartic,.....for now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kais Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Kameraden, Progress. Light sand and rescribe, then onto the underside of the nose. I'll also need to clear/clean up the exhaust openings. Yes, I realise the centre hole for the prop is off . I'm calling this close eniugh for government work. Comments and critiques welcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Not critique: camera distortion or has the middle part sagged? IIRC the topline of the Mustang is a nice smoothly sloping curve. Cees 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Cees, I think it's just catching the light a bit weird. I cut templates to match those on the plan, then put a straight edge on the top. The flat "may" be a little long, but I'll let it cure a while and revisit when the sanding fatigue passes. Thanks for your input. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Cees, you were right. The top needed some more love. Sorry, I couldn't get better focus on the second. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kais Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 So if anyone sees Marty Mcfly and Doc Brown, if you could ask them to head back and talk to the draughtsmen at NAA? My message would be, lovely aircraft, now put away the french curves for cowling work. Straight lines will work too! Arggh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kais Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Still at it! Closing in for the kill. Happy with that. Continually inspired by Airscale's "Lopes' Hope" .. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
