big matt Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Don't worry. The mod you did on the cowl flap piece works fine. You just have to remove a small amount of material and lower it a tiny amount. I did that for my Jug and it came out ok in my opinion. Yours is looking good and it is a great kit. Looking forward to more pics. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Sweet mount! The weathering looks great! That centerline tank is killer. Surprisingly, I'm working on mine now. Wings, wheels etc..I'll post pics later. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 So it's time to let things dry. I was able to get the engine started as well as some odds and ends started like the main gear, and the wings attached. I attached the wires from the backside and glued them in there hoping for a better anchor when I attach them to the engine hub later. Next up, more engine work and run Mr. Surface over the seams. Thanks for looking. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Here's a little closer look at the engine parts.... This is all a new frontier for me, but I'm happy where it's going...so far. Thanks Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F100Hun Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well, it's been awhile, but I finally got to get back to this build!! Tonight I did the plumbing for the engine. I've never done this before, but I looked at what others have done in this forum and built on their work. So here's my 'wired ' engine. I'll paint the wires tomorrow, a nice dirty brown. Tell me what you think. Thanks for checking this out... I like the way it looks. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here's a slightly different angle and lighting. Cheers... Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F100Hun Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 "Gone but not forgotten" as Neil Young put it. Resumed more work on the Jug, finishing up the engine, and applying Mr Surfacer to the seams. Here's the finished engine. Hope you like it. Bill L.

F100Hun Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well, now back to the body work... I have the seams all tidied up with CA glue and sanding, so now I appy the Mr. Surfacer to fill the bubbles left behing from the CA glue de-gassing. After this dries I'll sand that away and prep for the paint shack. My goal is to get some paint on this baby by the weekend when our club meets... but best laid plans of mice and men....... We'll see.. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 "And now, for something completely different" ... Well, while things are drying, I figured I do something to distract me. While it may not necessarily be an airplane, it certainly is 'Large Scale" hahahahahahaha... This beast is gonna be a putty queen!! (hmmm.. I should have decals made for a nose art with a babe and title "Putty Queen") UP SCOPE! Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F100Hun Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 .... Still working on those seams. A second application of Mr. Surfacer should do the trick. A little sanding them its time for masking and paint. Bill L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
