LSP_K2 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 You might find the flattened area is also an "area rule" location due to localised supersonic airflows..just sayin' The only supersonic airliner I'm aware of having existed, was the Concorde, so I doubt it's that.

LSP_K2 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 OK, more snail pace modeling here. Here are two comparative snaps, one that has not been altered, and one that has been stretched. Still lots to do to get these ready for paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-51D Man Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Interesting that you are dealing with the cowls like that. I always wondered how people got rid of the inner seams on the engines. And seeing you are lengthening the engines for the 300ER variant. That is a good kit. Good luck with you. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfists nz Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 If you do some research you'll find localised supersonic airflow is a real thing and before computised fluid dynamics, aerodynamic designers used the area rule to eliminate the shockwaves it caused. Before it was understood, the buffet encountered at Mach numbers above about .8 were thought to be indicative of the approaching wall of death called "the sound barrier "..basically speaking, as air accelerates around curved surfaces, it approaches Mach 1 even though the aircraft is traveling much slower, and a small supersonic shockwave is caused. This is most noticeable around wings and tail surfaces. The shockwaves can cause vibrations and loss of control effectiveness Rick Griewski and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 The majority of sanding (windows and all seams) is mostly finished now. I hope to be ready for primer and color in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 A few years back, I bought several sets of Premier and CMK lights, so I'll be using those where needed to represent anti-collision beacons and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-51D Man Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Can not wait to see the finished model and being Delta airlines that means a bare metal belly. Are you going to use Alclad for that. I have used it and if the model is prepared properly you will end up with a realistic finish. Good luck with your model and keep us posted.

LSP_K2 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yep, Alclad, and quite possibly BMF, though still not quite sure about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Kev Nice progress on the 767 ... and a nice touch on re-working the engine nacelles. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Going through this one, replacing all of my pictures (thanks, Photobucket, I really appreciate it), as this one is back on the bench now, at least for a while anyway. I seem to have misplaced the stabs, but if need be I can rob them from one of my other Revell USA kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Surfing the web some time back, I found this, a photo that fairly clearly shows the tail logo illumination lights, which I intend to depict on this kit.

LSP_K2 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 The last 767 model that I worked on, was a KLM version of the kit. Unfortunately, this kit and its parts didn't follow me when I moved a couple of years ago. LSP_Kevin, Out2gtcha and Model_Monkey 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Due to my initial impatience with this kit, I've had to now add a second, then third layer of putty to the cabin windows. Not a big deal really, but if I had done it correctly the first time, I wouldn't now be doing it again.

LSP_K2 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 OK, window putty all sanded out now, exposing the inevitable low points, which I'm patching with surfacer. Still a couple of hours of sanding/polishing to go, then it'll be primer time. I've also decided to enter this in the OOB category here in September, so I'll not be adding, nor changing, anything else. mustang1989 and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
