Exclamation Wings

The wings consist of 3 sections. Center section and two outer sections with a slight dihedral.

I used two small rulers and clamps to keep the glued edge from curling.

Me too. Murph has offered to modify his J21 prop version to the R jet version. I am looking forward to it.


Thanks

Isaac

Thumbs up Wings joined to fuselage

The wings now can be attached to the short fuselage. Good fit.

Exclamation Twin booms

Being a pusher propeller design, required attaching the tail surfaces in a way to avoid being struck by the prop. A common design was the use of a twin boom.

assembled

Note: This is a very fast build to see if it can be converted to a jet. So I did not care too much about the appearance or rough edges. This also exposed the areas of concern regarding fit and looks since I up scaled it from 1/48 to 1/33.

Exclamation Tail surfaces

Here are the vertical tin fins and the horizontal one piece fin
SAAB J21-prop version NOBI design-img_7393.jpg



The vertical fins have added piece of wood stick in order to glue them to the booms without falling apart. I would say for a large 1/33 scale version this is a weak point of the design and needed that extra support. For 1/48 scale and smaller, it is probably OK.

There is nothing much here. No detail at all.


Wheels are laminated and sanded card discs

Last thing to add is the pusher propeller and the engine exhaust pipes.
