Hartmann352 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Okay, sorry, no pics at this time...but just a check-in -- I have been putzing with it, and yes, the wing to fuselage is, hmm, shall we say "fun"? How about this...it's a learning experience. Funny, I have all the patience in the world when out in the woods, in a tree stand, but have to tap into that virtue when fitting parts together. Still deciding on the flap thing, let'em droop, of just button them up. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartmann352 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Okay, brief update...yes, more putzing...which as you will see has created even more to come. Engine, not going to be visible, so it was shake and baked, and oooooo, titanium!Here is the more putzing created....But for now, I must take a break...rather not from this, but from my place of employment...vacation time. My family , well, okay, SWMBO has decreed that we are heading south. Nashville, Orlando, St. Pete, then finally back here.I will be checking in on y'all thanks to one of those smart phone thingies, but that all I will be able to do for the next few days.IF there is anyone here from or that frequents Nashville, I'm a foodie, and out love a recommendation or 2.

Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I like the idea of the slipper tanks. I toyed with the idea of using them on my build. More putzing please !........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmann352 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Okay, I know I know....been awhile, but hey...it's a putz. now that I feel the fuselage is where I want it...just have to sand some more with a finer grit...then on to the wing root issue...(shudders at the thought)...anyway, with the poor fit, resulting from my less than best of putting the 4 sections of the fuselage together...I filled it, glued it, let it sit for a few days, then sanded it down. I was quite please when upon closer inspection of the Dremel tool that we use for the dogs nails, I discovered that it is a variable speed model...Dave was quite please that he didn't have to go out and buy one. Anyway, here's where I am.......and other parts of the fuse.Not the best pics, but camera was acting funny.

Menelaos Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) very nice, Dave...that trumpi Fagot is realy a worst case of kit...

Hartmann352 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Now topside....Doesn't look so bad from up here;But get in closer, starboard does not seem so bad.....but the port...ugh....Filling with .035 rod...and CA of course.Using the baking soda trick with the CA glue...man is that tough to grind/sand through. abadee-abadee-abadee, that's all, (for now) Folks.

Out2gtcha Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Great work on a not so great kit! I had issues with the wing root on mine as well. If you find that the baking soda trick is too rock solid, try a tub of the micro-balloons. I got mine from SIG (R/C) place. I found it much MUCH easier to sand than soda, and still as rock solid, and takes surfacer as well. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmann352 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) We have a tail!.....and Awww, how cute, Slippers:I also have the nose ring on, but camera pooped out on me.Later Taters!

Guest Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Is this the kit tail or the resin replacement ? Either way its looking good !........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmann352 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hey Harv, it's the kit....when I saw how swept back the resin wasn't...being more accurate, I wanted it, but just decided to get along with the build. Should I choose to build another one of these...I'll get the corrected tail. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menelaos Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well done so far. ..but at the first pic the nozzle should be more inside the fuselage...This is a MiG-17 future. ..at the MiG-15 the nozzle was not seen if you are looking the profile of the plane...
