1to1scale Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Beautiful work! I was not interested at all, until I saw your build. You should seriously post these build pictures to your website, they will help you sell some kits! KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul fisher Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 More progress on my Guppy...I have made up the little life raft commonly carried under the port wing and gotten the big radome and landing gear installed. I snitched an older style drop tank from a Tamiya Corsair as many pics of the AD-5W show them carrying one on the right hand pylon to add a little help with the torque from the 3350. Exhaust stains differ a wee bit from a standard AD-5, it seems the belly radome created it's own local air flow pattern.Also, note the oil cooler doors are slightly recessed when close and so they don't catch as much of the exhaust stains as the surrounding skin... More soon! paul Bil, johncrow, KiwiZac and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Looking good! Appreciate the tip on the oil coolers and exhaust staining. I'm just noticing... the belly airbrake isn't attached, is that to be added later or do I need to rip the plastic part off of mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike....The Guppy does not have a belly dive brake at all, they modified the well into an access hatch for a bunch of electronics in the fuselage behind the cabin. I'm loving that fluorescent AD-5 you're building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 You're tempting me Paul. It looks great. Were any of these in dark blue? Don't know why, but the gull grey and white ones just don't look as good to me. Or even better, an engine grey and yellow version would look smart Matt paul fisher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
