LSP_K2 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 This threw me a bit tonight, when I saw these two almost identical lower cowl parts. The top one, is from the G-6 kit, the lower from the K-4. As it turns out, my chosen scheme, represents a G-14/AS that requires the additional bulges, so will fit splendidly to the K-4 fuselage, which has cutouts to accept these bulges. I lucked out here, big time. Gazzas and Shawn M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 For reasons as yet unknown, the lower radiator scoop and flap are missing from both the G-6 and K-4 kits! I really have no idea where they might be, but both should certainly be here somewhere. I was going to work on them last night, when I discovered their absence.

LSP_K2 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Well now, that was certainly quick. Apparently I'd already glued the assembly together, set it aside to dry, then completely forgot all about it. Strange how that works sometimes. Now firmly anchored to lower cowl section, awaiting cleanup. D.B. Andrus, MikeMaben, Anthony in NZ and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Much like I'd done to my K-4, I've now added some hinges, using .030 half round strip. This looks a bit sloppy right now, but should look much better, once painted. MikeMaben, Greg W, Out2gtcha and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get a new CD player installed in my PC, I'll be able to get some use out of the material you sent me. 7 hours ago, LSP_Matt said: Great work buddy. It's going to look super once you're done.

LSP_K2 Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks, D.B. As much as I can, I really want this one to look cool. If all goes well, I'll be taking it to Madison in March, for the 2019 regional, and I really want it to be at least competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
