LSP_Kevin Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks Carl..not sure what the "T-shirt" has anything to with anything? You've never heard the phrase, been there, done that, bought the effing t-shirt? Kev Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnarg Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 That is a beautiful aircraft. Now for the hard part with the glass and the rigging. Good luck and thanks for letting us watch. Tnarg Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka HI Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Bloody hell...I can't find any CA. I had billion of those little tubes all of over the place, but now I can't seem to source a SINGLE one. I'll need to visit the hardware store nearby...

Shaka HI Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Not a great photo, but the thicker EZ line painted silver is much too lumpy/grainy and just doesn't look right. I'll be using using fishing line, tightened with some heat. I like EZ line as it seems durable when you inadvertently touch/hit it...

Shaka HI Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Now this is very nice. In LSP, too! http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I worked the seam on the cowl and repainted it...but I think I'll need to sand more and repaint as the seam is still somewhat visible. I finished the rigging, but will need to fashion the braces and tighten it a bit. I used fishing line and surprisingly enjoyed it! (Sanded/repainted the cowling...I'm satisfied.)

Hubert Boillot Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Looks like you are on the final run Shaka ! it looks terrific ! Hubert Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka HI Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thank Hubert...I added the braces -- it's more "representative" than anything else. I found it difficult to scratch anything that would allow the rigging to pass through. But it looks the part -- 2 feet away!
