scvrobeson Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Printed bits look great. What's the plan for the raised rivets on the exhausts? Matt Edited June 5, 2022 by scvrobeson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 She's taking shape nicely Pete.  It's weird but from that angle she almost looks like a single seater.  Those polished cans look amazing. Is that photo of a T-bird jet? Looks like a smoke pipe between the nozzles. If so, were line jets just as brilliant? Very much looking forward to seeing you tackle that feature, keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is a Thunderbird jet, yes. All of the AF T-38’s/AT-38’s are gloss painted; so they tend to stay pretty clean. The tailpipes on the Wing or Squadron Commander jets were typically kept pretty clean as well. The T-38 is a jet that just didn’t soil itself like others. The hot metal areas could get grungy however-  cheers P Uilleann, geedubelyer and GreyGhost 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Got some skin in the game- Top of right slab:  .005 aluminum sheet. The leading edge went down first, and wraps around the bottom.  The skin stops short of the trailing edge, because there is a small step-down there on the real jet. I’ll fair that in with some Bondo or similar.  cheers Pete Dandiego, Landrotten Highlander, geedubelyer and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
