I'm sleeping right now.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Got started on some construction last night...
Making small corrections as I go...this is definitely the best way to prepare a model.
ALL designers should test build their own creations.
I made a massive error on the dimensions for the Tail Wheel box.
I will have to send Gerardo a new part for his build too.
Anyway...lets back up a bit:
Formers for the Fuselage cut and sanded into shape.
I will shape more as I install them.
My goal is a snug but easy fit.
Don't want to stretch the parts beyond their size.
All Fuselage sections cut out, along with joiner strips.
Edges coloured, extra cuts made, and seam joiners in place.
Next I will use my Knife handle to roll the parts into a basic shape that matches their respective formers.
Join each section at its seam.
And install the tabbed joiner strips wherever possible.
Time to dry fist sections...test the connections for accurate fit and give mysel a good understanding
of how the parts go together. (Better figure it out now before you have wet glue everywhere!)
This is where I found the Tail Wheel box size problem...I'll go fix that right now.
woops...I see I've got the camo colours backwards on one small part! lol
Onward and upward!
...
The Air Racer question again...
Two problems I have with doing some air racers.
First off is all the corporate sponsors and logos.
I already got shot down by Jelly Belly candy.
Second issue is the heavily modified aircraft.
Clipped wings, lengthened fuselages, streamlined Canopies, etc
At the moment I'm just not prepared to get into those kind of kit changes.
