Nic C.D. Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This really is a very elegant looking aircraft and I hope news on the kit will come soon, I'm looking forward to start building it. Must be quite a big machine in 1/32, no? I hope for news soon! Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpchagnon Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I am glad you are still here and going on your project. What about some new pictures from your progress. Don't forget the Dassault Rafale 1/32, it will bring a lot of interest, not only from french aircrafts lovers. Thanks, cordially.

waroff Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I do not forget this project.I have difficulty to find a good method to mold the nacelles.I cut out the forward cowl. this one will be easy to mold.The rear part will be hard...the thickness is too thin, I will increase it with wax sheet as i made for the fwd cowl what you see on the nacelle (left) is not the thickness of plastic but the stiffener cemented along the edges. On cowling at right, we can see the real thickness ( around .02) DougN, Alburymodeler, dutik and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waroff Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 I finished to covered the inner of the nacelle; the calibrated wax sheet is not easy to use. They are tacky and too difficult to put in place because they bond to the finger. After a long fighting, the strips of wax are at their place, Now, it must to cut the excess. have you try to cut an bubble gum? it 's same. A paraffin was be added to wax, for this reason, it is very tacky. The advantage is to increase and obtain a regular thickness Now, this is finish, i began to put the nacelle in clay to mold the first part dutik, Alburymodeler, AlexM and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Hello Sosthène, Good to see you back on this. To harden the wax before cutting it, put the part in the freezer for a few hours ... Hubert Edited September 5, 2016 by MostlyRacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waroff Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Someone asked if the wing need stiffener in the casting.One year ago I have cast this wing and clamp the wing root horizontaly then forget it in the garage.6 °c in winter to 30° in summer.Twelve months later, the sprue (5x5mm) is curved but the wing is always straight despite no stiffener.

waroff Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Today, the nacelles before pouring silicone rubber. The molds will be in two parts fitted together as for the engine cowling and rear cowling. When these molds will be made, the hard part will be done (pray for cast resin is easy and good in these mold) Kagemusha, Derek B, AlexM and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
