LSP_K2 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks, Brian. I'll be cleaning off the table later this week in preparation for our Christmas dinner on the 24th, then afterward I'll be able to resume work on this puppy "full swing".

LSP_K2 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 A fair amount of good work done here today, but not a lot that's photo worthy, save for perhaps this, the slow clean-up and installation of the exhaust stubs, followed by the addition of weld beads as I go along.

LSP_K2 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 .010 chunks added to fill in the P.E. slots in the rudder, as I will definitely not be using those on this effort (or probably any others for that matter).

LSP_K2 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Though actually not too bad on this kit, I've still went ahead and thinned the exhaust shields for a better appearance. BiggTim, Gazzas, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 All exhaust stacks now finished for this side, and I've commenced real work on the remaining six. These actually look pretty decent to my eye, and I hope will look really cool once painted up. BiggTim, LSP_Kevin and Greg W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Finally, some appropriate grey (Tamiya XF-24)spritzed onto the IP. I should start detail painting tomorrow sometime. I'm not sure if the gunsight is correct or not, it's just what was in the box. One thing I know with absolute certainty about 109's, is that I actually know very little about 109's.

Shawn M Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 nice progress Kevin LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Great looking build, Kevin. I'm assuming you know this already but I just wanted to point out that the engine is upside down and will be oriented the other way around when it eventually gets installed.

I see no reason at all why this won't be finished for the show in September, and I'm really looking forward to that. 1 hour ago, Thunnus said: Great looking build, Kevin.

Yep, this is the starboard side assembly, as that just happened to be the side that I started working on first. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Here's some paint slopped on the IP. After adding whatever of the Airscale stencils I can use, I'll re-photograph it, as this is really not such a great photo.

Gazzas Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 IP looks great, Mate! I have never thought to thin the exhaust shields... Thanks for the tip! Gaz LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Yep, on this kit, they look like they're made from 1/4" steel plate, so need to have a more "scale like" appearance. Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
