marauderdriver Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Designed with a tail-less configuration in an attempt to overcome "Compressibility", a phenomenon when aircraft traveling above .75 mach encounter down-wash on the horizontal stabilizer's, causing the nose to "tuck under". The Cutlass was the first US fighter desgined with afterburners, and the NAVY's first swept-wing fighter. I wanted to build something different......this is definitely that, My first ALL-RESIN-KIT of a REALLY different airplane. As normal with me she will be "In-flight", NMF combination silver lacquer and aluminum foil with a PJ Productions 1950's Naval Aviator.

Guest Clunkmeister Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) I love it, buddy, you're gonna knock it clean outta the park with this build! I'd like to do one gear down so I can catch that distinctive Gutlass nose-high attitude when sitting on the deck. Love it!

Guest Peterpools Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Going to be a great build to follow and enjoy. As Brian said, Paul's kits are awesome and the detail is fantastic. I totally enjoyed my Sea Fury build and the one problem I had with fit, Paul came to the rescue. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) :( I'm now gonna have to call Paul, order a Gutless, and make one for my case. Thanks man, you're SUCH A PAL, spending MY money like that! Oh, you owe me 300 bucks, plus shipping! (Paul Fisher, if you're reading this, you might as well prep one for me, I'll be calling in a few days) Edited November 6, 2014 by Clunkmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderdriver Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ernie, Ask Paul if he will sell you one without the landing gear for a discount and you can have mine. They pack'em when you order'em. I want to get his F-8C conversion Will see how the Cutlass goes. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clunkmeister Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Will do, Jack. Thanks, buddy! How are you ever gonna cope if you model, say, a Bristol Freighter? The gear's down and welded. Edited November 6, 2014 by Clunkmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderdriver Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Hi Guy's, Trying to test fit the wings , spar and upper fuselage to see how this will go together. I have to play with the parts to figure the best assembly routes since I want to use foil and paint for panels. The panels work out to be 2 different shades of silver lacquer and 2 different foil treatments. Can not have uneven seams with silver/foil. Did I mention this is my first All Resin kit? Also finishing up my SAM for the Vietnam G/B Will post some pics soon Thanks for checking in jack Edited November 7, 2014 by marauderdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
