ericg Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thank you very much guys. Onto the finish. SMS sent me their two pack clear set for me to try. I was a bit apprehensive at first as it requires mixing of specific ratios and has a 24 hour curing time. Needless to say, once again, I am extremely impressed with Scott's product. I have done quite a few gloss models in my time and this stuff is simply excellent. After mixing it in the correct ratios, I sprayed it through my airbrush. The instructions provided with the clear state that you should allow 24 hours for it to harden and cure, so I put it well out of the way so that I wasn't tempted to touch it. The clear has cured into an very shiny, durable coat and looks great. Will be using this from now on for sure. Very highly recommended. So after exactly 2 weeks, I have now finished the model. An impressive (and different) addition to my completed models. Better photos soon. patricksparks, Trak-Tor, Tolga ULGUR and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Great job on an extremely interesting race-craft - would have been a world record holder if they could have managed the power transfer (prop to prop) successfully. Today with computers it would have been a snap (witness the America's Cup race boat!!). Thanks for posting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Now the question is, where does one buy Aerotech kits? They seem to be harder to find than a dodo riding a unicorn. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekB Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Wonderful work Eric! I'm a big fan of 1920s/30s race planes. Imagine if this had flown! The pictures of this machine "floating" almost fully submerged are mind boggling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
