| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:26 |  | | Views : 1571 | | The seat in the early P-40s were often left unpainted. The seat belts are Eduard 1/24th scale photo etched. |
| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:18 |  | | Views : 1376 | | Sure enough there was a lot of trimming and refitting to get all the pieces to fit properly. |
| jerry campbell | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #42, Curtiss P-40B/C Warhawk | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:13 |  | | Views : 1267 | | I installed the cockpit before I papered the fuselage, I figured all the handling could loosen the tightness of the paper. |

| David Duckett | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 17-Feb-08 18:05 |  | | Views : 1389 | | Some filler on the bottom where the struts fit |

| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 1408 | | One nacelle complete. The grillwork is very rigid and just test fitted. Will be permanently installed as one of the Mossies final details, probably in 2009 at this rate. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:33 |  | | Views : 1391 | | The plastic becomes mighty thin at the edges after sanding. Look close, the tabs were wonderful alignment strips and provided more area for glue up at seams. Priceless. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 14:50 |  | | Views : 1439 | | After all trial fitting and shaping, the 1/16" balsa sheet is glued into position to reinforce thin nacelle sides during glue up. Will also back-up any filler required. Thank you DD. |
