Lockheed PV 2 Harpoon "Hot Stuff"

Great idea for the engine! so simple but looks great.....Rich

The wing is built at the usual (very good) quality I've come to expect on this site, but the wire work in the engine looks really special

Thanks for the kind words...
Here are the pics for the final build of the props and spinner on the engine front, this is what will go into the final build of this model kit.




The ring on prop spinner is set at a height that will clear the wires on the front of the engine. This lets the back of the prop spinner make full contact with the face of the false engine front for a solid glue surface.

Looks fabulous...Interesting wing, and I like the engine technique

Boy, that's some egg-crate! I really like the way this Harpoon's getting along. Looking gooc\d.

nice! I love the way how you emulate the engine cylinders. x)

So here are some shots of a quick scale check of the 1:48 model. I punched a wing slot hole through a quick build of the fuselage and slipped the wing through

Then stuck on the rear elevators and rudders. No work of art here, just a quick build to make sure the overall look is correct, before I start chasing all the little stuff.

I have a lot of work to do on the engine nacelles as they are not even close to right...I will continue to plug away, and hope to make some real headway soon.

It's looking pretty damn good, Mike!!

Definitely starting to look like the Hot Stuff that I know
