Out2gtcha Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Awesome work Justin! As Ron said, you are a quick study! I will concede that foil isnt for everyone. Great job so far, and keep the good updates coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks guys! Really kind words. It definitely is trying but I think the results will pay off. I know I can't ever use alclad again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmthamade Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Fast learner. Looks much better than any of my attempts with foil The last thing i foiled were 4 racks of ribs. They turned out great!! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dergrunepunkt Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cool project, I'm feeling like doing some NMF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Hey guys! I have 3 days off until my next sched flight so work continues. Goal to finish the intakes to the tail in foil today. Here's a picture with "Ye Old Pub" and "Yellow 2" Franz Stiegler. Cool story to read if you're ever interested. Book is called "A Higher Call", print is from valorstudios.com. Stay tuned! Edited January 25, 2014 by FunkyZeit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Juastin Sure is looking mighty good. Looking forward to seeing the foil work competed and a fantastic NMF Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Thanks Pete! The details still need a little help. I rescribe gently with a toothpick. Painted the wings white and tested the stand Ill probably double foil some panels for extra contrast. Thoughts?

dmthamade Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 What is double foiling? I'm guessing apply foil to panels that have already been foiled as part of a larger panel? If correct then yes, double foil. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Exactly don! A good spot is near the large side panels near the intakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dergrunepunkt Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Looking really nice, I would double foil maintenance access panels, what do you think about that?. Question, do the F-104 show stress marks on the surface?, I beleive it might not be that hard to reproduce with two or three layers of foil check this out: http://www.ratomodeling.com/articles/stressed_skin/ cheers Edited January 26, 2014 by dergrunepunkt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Looks sweet! And I agree with the panels. Ill start adding them. I could be wrong in my ideas, but a stressed skin supersonic airplane may not be a good thing. Most skins past ww2 were modular, so a buckled skin could easily be replaced. I know with my company, tiny hair cracks in spars and skin are cut out and replaced on our machines. Also, if assume supersonic jets would be monocoque, but if someone else knows please let us know!
