kkarlsen Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 Thanks for the encouragement Jan & Anthony. It's good to be back on the build! Work continues with the engine mounts which has to be extended as well as converted to fit the Liberty V-12 engines. It's beginning to look like a aeroplane rather than a submarine ;-) Cheers: Kent Kagemusha, scvrobeson, Alain Gadbois and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 Thank you Torben & Kevin. It's a joy to be back at it! , I think I'm almost done with creating molds and casting the parts needed for the Aeromarine/F-5-L conversion. Let's see: Engine mounts and exhausts. Two bladed propellers, radiators and the many reinforced struts. I've just poured the mold for the oil tanks. I need four of those. Hopefully that's it!

kkarlsen Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Oil tanks done and ready... Now I need to find some mesh for the radiators. I got a lot of different, but I think it will one of these nice one's from Radu. I haven't been able to make out if the radiator's had honeycomb or straight mesh... Any of you have any knowledge on the Liberty engine radiators? Cheers: Kent Edited September 6, 2019 by kkarlsen Greg W and BradG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 So, the Aeromarine build has reached a major milestone... Maybe it doesn't look of much but I guarantee you it has been one of those moments, where I wasn't sure if all the work has been worth it and the parts would all fit together and line up correctly. Getting the engine mounts and the scratched struts to fit together with the upper wing. The instrument panel is in place... The radiators for the Liberty engines. Still the oil tanks aren't in place. A lot of pipes is also needed, but it's getting there... Cheers: Kent Out2gtcha, gmctaggart, Vandy 1 VX 4 and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
