Sweety Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone, I am new on the forum, excuse my English because I use Google translation. So far I have posted montages on French forums only, despite the language problem I have joined the Larges Scale Planes community that I have been following for a long time and which I appreciate very much. Your criticism, remarks and advices are welcome for me in order to progress in this Hobby. I started a Corsair F-4U 1A some time ago. I'm going to embellish this Tamiya Kit with the Eduard cockpit and engine. I started with the Pratt & Whitney 2800 engine from the Eduard Kit. For the painting of the cylinders I used Humbrol Mascol liquid mask that I cut once dry. To preserve the slice of the black cooling plates. Home tools used for cutting the liquid mask. The painting of the cylinders once finished. See you soon, Sweety (Google Translate) Edited December 24, 2019 by Sweety AlbertD, TAG, TorbenD and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweety Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Hi all Pipes on the heads of the cylinders. Regular formatting of the 18 pipes with an improvised folding machine. Set up the wire. Push the counter-piece. And here are 18 regular pipes Setting up the cylinders. The admission pipes are too short. I want to leave the engine hoods open and the pipes are too short which bothers me. I've extended the intake pipes. For the masking of pipes, I use Teflon, used in sanitary to waterproof the fittings . There you go. I foresee the same problem with the exhaust pipes.

Sweety Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Hi everyone, Extended intake pipes. I used Maskol originally intended for masking to temporarily fix my exhausts without sticking them. It's surprisingly very effective. Painting the exhausts. Don't panic ! I didn't shot the Christmas reindeer!! This engine will make less noise !!! See you soon Sweety Rocat, AlbertD, markiii and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
