Vitali Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Would there be any possibility that you could make your canopy master available so some of us could get a copy of it? I would really like to do the F-100F as would some others here would and as you have shown it's possible with two kits. I like very much what you have completed so far and look forward to seeing more. LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 There have been several LSP folks ask the same question. When I get to that point I am not opposed to making them available. The cost will be up to the individual that will be doing them for me. Barry Girlscanplay2 and LSP_Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the pics here it lookalike a simple process... MM Mike, Here are some photos that show where the cuts were made. Hope these will be helpful.

blackbetty Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 very nice. i always wanted an early weasel with a single shrike. if you make it availible, will you do a fuselage plug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) I had not considered any type of commercial conversion kit. I will be lucky to finish it in time to make the cut. Barry Edited May 18, 2014 by Barry LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Along with the lengthening of the fuselage came the intake trunking and new bulkheads. In all fairness these pictures are of work previously accomplished but I'm getting closer to "new" work on the build.

Martinnfb Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I really like unusual builds like this one, way to go Barry! Cheers M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys and Gals for your words of encouragement. I have been working on the wings and dealing with the usual Trumpeter "steps and gaps" problems with the "moveable" control surfaces. You would think that at least the fit would be consistent from one wing to the other; but no! There are also numerous sink marks especially on the upper surface of the Slats. Lots of fitting, trimming, shimming and sanding. I have however made progress and will post some photos tomorrow, I hope!

Barry Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 As promised here are some photos and thoughts on the wings. My build will be in-flight with the aircraft posed at a 90 degree roll to the left with slats deployed and control surfaces correctly position.
