Pete Fleischmann Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hello all- got the vent holes in the tailpipes located and drilled out. I was searching the web for techniques to weather aluminum, and came up with all sorts of alchemy- but in the end I just smeared raw umber and Payne’s grey oil paint all over the aluminum and after an hour just feathered it off with a clean rag. pretty cool!

Pete Fleischmann Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Started working on this fairing- not done yet- still adjusting the size and figuring out the fasteners- The photo of the actual jet above is a T-38A. The AT-38B has a ballast fairing that would cover most of the louvered vent, so they moved it aft- cheers P Marcel111, themongoose, A-10LOADER and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt super easy- mix up JB Weld 2 part epoxy and take a sharp toothpick (or whatever) dip it in the epoxy, and tap it where you want it to go. practice a few times off the model to be sure you can get a consistent size..but not a hard thing to master. The JB weld is thick enough that it stands proud easily and retracts to a convincing dome shape- pretty cool. cheers P Edited July 25, 2022 by Pete Fleischmann brahman104, Greg W, A-10LOADER and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
