John M Oshust | Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata | Build | 28-Mar-08 21:30 |  | Views : 1081 | One more day of treatment should have the new "Wings of Steel" as smooth as a baby's behind. |
John M Oshust | Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata | Build | 28-Mar-08 21:28 |  | Views : 1028 | Thru the marvel of modern medicine the "Rat" is released from ICU and continues to mend. |
SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 28-Mar-08 20:32 |  | Views : 787 | The clear covering helped me get the servos installed w/o having to cut off any of the covering as I was going to do. I read to apply a very thin coat of paint and allow to dry 24 hours, so here goes. The thin coat of paint added about a gram of weight. |
sweetwillie | Guillows Series 1400 - F-16 Fighting Falcon | Parked | 28-Mar-08 14:02 |  | Views : 957 | My first nectarines, Now if I can keep the deer away. |
SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 27-Mar-08 23:00 |  | Views : 810 | Wing weighed 39.4 grams before covering and is 50.3 grams fully covered, which works out to around 34 gsm. I need to patch some small areas with wrinkles, but that is ok as I need to get access to install the forgotten servos. :o |

SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 27-Mar-08 17:41 |  | Views : 897 | Aileron covering has been fixed. The test block has been painted with 4 layers if thinned Liquitex. Brush marks are minimal, but an airbrush would be better. |
poppy | Guillows Series 400 - BF 109 | Parked | 27-Mar-08 16:12 |  | Views : 1833 | Finished. Antennae, prop detail, and wing lights. |
SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 27-Mar-08 15:54 |  | Views : 910 | 45F here and it was hailing an hour ago, but you won't hear me complain. 70-80F is good for me and 90F or higher is just uncalled for. |
SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 27-Mar-08 14:45 |  | Views : 817 | Now we can tell that the aileron on the right was the first one I did and the one on the left is nearly perfect. The one on the right won't shrink anymore, but a little more heat on the left aileron should clear up those little wrinkles. |
SteveM | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 27-Mar-08 14:43 |  | Views : 884 | Covering the ailerons with Doculam (1.5 mil laminating film). Everything looks great from this angle, but that is the danger of a clear covering. |
