Guest Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I hear that photo paper will also work....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I hear that photo paper will also work....Harv Not a bad idea at that Harv. I'm trying to shave as much time off this as I can by avoiding unnecessary work where possible. Some paint trickery, and this burner should look OK I think. We'll see I suppose.

Guest Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I remember a couple of years ago, a fellow doing a WIP of a Trump MIG 15, used the photo copy paper in the intake trunk to acomplish the same thing. Always stuck in my head, cause I plan on building both the 15 and 17.............Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Nice work so far and fast. Mark Thanks Mark. Too late, I realized this photo is kind of lame, but unfortunately I've already painted this area, so it can't be fixed. I took the liberty of adding some strips inside the burner nozzle just to dress it up a bit; not realistic perhaps, but it serves my purpose. Burner area painted and ready for installation.

DougN Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Great work and problem solving so far, looking forward to the rest of the build! Cheers, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Doug Thanks Doug, I am so looking forward to painting this with my new Iwata. Well, tail assembly is coming along nicely. Aft engine area will need considerable smoothing out with putty and the addition of some structural "stuff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) Before I gloss coat the seat, I thought I'd slop some paint on it, (not that anyone will ever see it). Edited September 14, 2011 by Typhoonattack1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Kev Nice work on the burner can ... looks great Peter Thanks buddy. Fuselage interior burner area dolled up a bit with plastic strips, nothing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Area painted with MM titanium, followed with stainless steel, then buffed a tad with paper towel. I may also try aluminum, not real sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 I've decided to do this clean, so mounting tabs for flaps were cut off, and flaps/ailerons glued into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
