    Radu, it's not that I'm unaware of the use of 02, I also have a copy of the document of which you linked.  In addition, I have seen color photographs of aircraft with 02 mottling.  It is that I had not considered that this aircraft would have 02.  It was an eye opening moment for me.

     

    Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Been doing a little work on the wings and cowling.

    No lightening holes in the wheel wells.  Filled and sanded smooth.

    Here too.

    Replacement part for the oil radiator.

    Roughly blanked off.

    Not worried about accuracy.

    Shimming and aligning.

     

    DSCN6947

    First round of filling, filing, and sanding.  Lots of shimming.

    Other side.  Still need to scribe panel lines.

     

    DSCN6961

    Made it so it's removable.

     

    DSCN6962

    Other side.

     

    DSCN6960

    Weep holes.  Still need to scribe panel line.

    Nothing good happens when a model falls off the work bench.

     

    Thank you for looking in.

    Thank you, my Brother.

     

    I don't get a lot done jumping back and forth between three builds, but I try to do a little something on everything each week.  Here I worked on aligning the cowling with the fuselage.

     

    DSCN6956

    I bonded two structures before shimming so the front end wouldn't split .  I started with .010 before moving up incrementally until I reached .040 as the shim size.

     

    DSCN6955

    Good on this side.

     

    DSCN6954

    Same here.  Erred so I had to add a shim to try and level things out.

     

    DSCN6953

    Close enough for Government Work.

     

    Thanks for looking in.

    Acrylic paint freezing?

    in Painting & Finishing

    If the suspension is lacquer, it’ll be ok.  Lacquer has a low freezing point.  Water, not so much.  Agent (gloss/matte) will thicken in the cold but thin out at room temperature.  Medium, acrylic color particles, will be ok.  Otherwise let me know and I’ll PayPal you the loss.

     

    Sincerely,
