    Layout of the main petrol tanks of the F-5-L. There are a lot of questions regarding the layout of the petrol tanks of the Aeromarine, but the shape of the main tanks, seems not to be one of them Kent

    kkarlsen replied to kkarlsen's topic in Multi-Engine GB

    I succeeded in finding something else to work on, postponing the inevitable... The petrol tanks of the F-5-L are not round like the ones one the F.2a, I guess the extra foot of distance between the spars was used to increase the size of the tanks. The horizontal tank... To get the right shape of the tanks, a 'core' was made from sheet styrene. The outer skin is made from thick aluminium sheeting. The new tanks ready to be installed, with some subtle 'denting' of the tanks... A larger wooden 'bridge' was also scratched. Now I have to become a little creative. I have to figure out how to arrange the fuel piping on the Aeromarine, since the cockpit is sitting right on top of the tanks... Cheers: Kent

    That is interesting Ray, maybe that is why I hate the glossy appearance. I have a similar idea with colors. I find most paints to be 'too much' when used straight out of the bottle. It may be the right color compared to the original, but used on models they become toy-like? Cheers: Kent

    Nice engines Thomas! I hollowed the landing gear with a drill and added a brass rod to reinforce them. This operation wasn't that difficult and there were never any issues afterwards. The landing gear became much more stable. The finished model becomes quite heavy with the necessary nose weight added. Happy modelling: Kent

    Thank you Peter, appreciate it. And I haven't forgotten our 'deal'. I've been pursuing this 'theme' of 'civilized' Aeroplanes for a while now and this is the first 100% civilian project, of hopefully many more to come... Kent

    I think the mahogany panels were glossy? But I hate glossy, I'm really not sure what to do... Cheers: Kent
