David H Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I see a relaxing evening of wedging in bar stock, clipping, carving, filing, sanding and polishing in your immediate future. Think how S-M-O-O-T-H it will be when done!! Just an FYI: Super Glue and Sanding sticks are your "Friends", LOL d-mented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 hi all here's where it's at The nose join was easier than I expected it to be, and the Flightpath resin intakes are a beautiful thing. The keen-eyed will note that the fin is being rebuilt - this follows a discovery that resin that is either not fully mixed or too old (not sure which, but probably the latter) actually eats plastic! Who knew? Obviously not me..... The underside shows the repairs to the nose profile required by some over-enthusiastic sanding Apart from that, looking like a Victor. The outer wings obviously require a bit more work.... The wing tips need to be faired in and the gaps filled. More sanding awaits! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Its looking good, I do believe you might have this build on the run now! Martian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 So, it's back - rescued from the depths of page 20. Where did that 3 months go? Life and too many other projects in the way, but some progress should be obvious. It is a beautiful design without all the later bumps! For some reason the port outer wing panel contour doesn't match the inner wing - hence the milliput awaiting attention..... The prototype fin intake is tubing, laminated plastic card and elbow grease Still some work to be done on the tailplane bullet. canopy fits (nearly) - paint can't be too far away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavodavo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Where did you get the tail cone from? The Flightpath conversion doesn't come with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashman Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 made it myself, your honour exactly from what escapes me, but probably part of a fuel tank courtesy of the spares box, with a piece of plastic card to space it out a bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
