Tinbanger Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Again thank you Erik for posting more useful information! The engine cart and tail cart are similar to photos that I have saved. Tail section interior details have answered questions I had and are worth the effort to replicate. I look forward to more of your posts.

Tinbanger Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Some work on the engine:- I have removed kit tabs. Sub-assemblys glued and next up remove some of the cast on details and replace with wire and rod. mpk and Joel_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinbanger Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I have been working on scratch building the jet engine cart:- I used a pipe coupling to form part of the inner c channel for the jet frame rotor and cut the OD then the ID for the flanges using my circle cutter.

Joel_W Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Rich, Looking forward to your next update. I keep on saying I'm going to get one of those circle cutters, just haven't gotten around to it as yet, and I've sure needed one at times.

Wolf Buddee Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nice work so far Richard. The "Dog" is one of my all time favourite 50s jets with incredibly beautiful lines. Have you figured out how/if you're going to do the clam shell exhaust nozzle? No D Sabre kit seems to have gotten that detail correct.

LSP_K2 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This'll be cool. I really like the Sabres. Tinbanger and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
