Looking great so far! :) Are you going to vacuform shells over your masters?

Good morning,

 

My wife bought me the book A SPITFIRE IN MY WORKSHOP for my birthday. This inspired me to try building a scratch build plane myself. So, I will try to use lithoplate also. Let's see how it works out.

Hi,

 

I made some progress on my Langnase and joind the center fuselage sction and the fuel tank chamber:

Bottom view of the subassemblies shows the sharp edges of the fuel tank chamber in contrast to the rounded cross sections
of the center fuselage to advantage.

The fuselage extension plug is made of two plywood frames and a balsa core.
Total width 41.5 mm

The groove is 0.8 mm deep and cut with the table saw.

Hi,

 

I started to grap some litho plate for the fuselage extension plug. The fuselage extension plug is made of 2 shells: left and right. The right shell overlaps the left one in a joggled joint at the spine and bottom.

 

A: Material defining the height of the joggled joint. In this case 0.15 mm

B: Shell plating of 0.15 mm litho plate for the left side.

C: Stop block for D.

D: Embossing tool for the jogle

0.15 mm isn´t very much, but it is there! ;-)

Macro of the joggled joint. The right shell will overlap the recessed portion.

Thanks Tony for the joggle 😊
