shark64 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Any modeler in my book that starts a project from scratch is one hell of talented modeler. Dan, this rocks. Oliver Lee White, Dandiego and Harold 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Ok time for another update!? 2 updates in 2 days....what a concept. Ok after thinking about how the intakes were going to fit for about a month I just decided to ....DO IT! The first picture shows the sheet plastic cut to size, folded to fit, and sprayed flat aluminum. The next is of the intake in the fuselage. You can see a basic shape of the compressor face. Didn't need to be that great because you will barely be able to see it when totally finished. Here you can see all before installation. Oh yeah I actually primered the nose. Right and left sides installed. I used a few bits of plastic to hold everything in position. Looks a little messy but what the hell. Time to finish skinning the fuselage.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Looks a little messy but what the hell. I know what you mean, Dan. My efforts look the same, but once it is all covered in styrene and then some primer and paint... Great progress! And what an unusual subject!

Harold Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone know what wheels and tires were used on it? Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) Intakes! First picture is of the prep work. I have glued 2 guide pieces to the fuselage. These will serve as the foundation for all that follows. And then ....Well I didn't take a lot of pictures. But here is the opposite side build up, Bondoed, sanded and pretty much done. A few things to cleanup but this is basically it.

Hubert Boillot Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Great work, Dan ! If I may, the upper curve of the intake/fuselage joint looks flatter on the drawings and on Harv's video than what you have done ... The cross-section there (forward part of the upper intake fairing into the fuselage) looks also slighlly concave rather than convex, and overall flatter, which would explain why the upper line is not as rounded as you have built it. Looking forward for more Hubert NORMCO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
