Getting to the final shape. |

And hey Poppy, I think you take the "Gand prize" for Balsa block carving projects at the moment! |

| This is why I work in the garage. Otherwise I would spend all my time cleaning up to keep the peace. |

| Yes, but for one brief moment it's Camelot. |

| Used to get in trouble for doing this in the house. Well, here's one advantage of getting older (plus the wisdom in knowing you sure as shingles better clean it up before "She" see's it)! |

| Messy to some perhaps, beautiful to me. |

After gazing at John O's beautiful prop for the Stearman, I got the hankerin' to break out the ol' whittlin' knife for the exhast fairings. |

| Beautiful work |

Exhaust Nozzle detail. Used the same .005" Al for the Faux turbine blades. Made a forming die and squeezed the bejeevs out of it against some 1/16" Bass in my machine vise. If someone plans to build one of these (umm... Jerry maybe?) I've got some extra blade thingees. I could send in the mail. The Dia. of Al + paper roll = the hole laser cut in F7A & F7B. |

Found some nice reference on the engine that was to propel this aircraft. |

Since I had my machines setup after finishing an unrelated project I started making some components for the jet exhaust nozzles. Still need the tubes, support vanes and faked turbine blades. |

| I'll see if I can find them. They were hand drawn, a couple of years ago, from one of the reference drawings on Luft '46 for a local club cookup. I'll have to scan them when I find them. Since I never actually built the model I can't guarantee that it will go together the way that I drew it or that it will fly. |

| Really doing a job on this 46er. Keep those pics coming! |

I've been playing around with some thin .005" aluminum sheet metal forming to make a one piece exhaust duct. This is the first play effort and it looks promising. Overworked it though without annealing so it cracked. Plus I did it with what I had on hand (get a good laugh at the "Tools" I used, but hey, it worked, surprised me!). Sorry, used the part for a glue tray, hence the stick stuck. |

| Yes Luft "46 is quite a cool site as well. Where was the "Cook-up" may I inquire? Or could you post the plans. I for one would like to see them! |
| hjlittman, Comment for image # 13362 | 19 Jul 09 19:12 |
| There is also more information on this one at the Luft '46 site. http://www.luft46.com/bv/bvp170.html I worked up drawings for a multi-engined rubber powered cookup, but didn't get the chance to build it. |

BV-170. There's about 40 BV designs as well as other aircraft and vehicles here:http://www.the-blueprints.com/frontpage/ Many are just o.k. but to get a good reference for general shape and perusing for ideas. |

| That is looking fantastic, Phil.

| Nosforatu. |

| Ja ja, those Blohm&Voss P planes ... projects which were never realized.
The one I like best is the B&V P-170 "Schnellbomber", another plane David might want to google for. Somewhere George Lucas had to get his inspiration for the pod racer .... :-) |
