    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    Will it be lighter than covering or paint?Tyler/ I might use 1 whole roll of alum, and have been told its a tad more than paint. But because its a warbird the extra weight is nothing but a few more MPH in a dive. They tend to fly better also/ not so jumpy. I think just this bird will need a...

    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    Happy new year! I found some more time in the shop this holiday season and hope you all did to. I finished the stab on the fuse so we can call that done and started on the wing. I finished the bottom last night and hope to get the top after work today. I was struggling with how to protect the...

    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    I finished the fuse this weekend. I am now thinking about the stars and bars and how to paint them on. Do they make a transparent stickyback that I could trace then adhere to the fuse and paint? The covering went on fairly well, just time consuming. It shines really well and am very happy at...

    Scale JTEC 1/3 Scale Taylorcraft

    To be honest I don't remember but I got a list from the plans that called out for all of the wood to order for the build, other than the kit from Jtec. Did you get the list with the plans?

    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    I normally don't do much with pilots or cockpits but this one I decided to . A Warbird without a pilot just doesn't look right in my opinion, especially a bubble. I found a Gi Joe" Pearl Harbor "edition on Ebay for 40 bucks that will sit in the seat. Flight metal will start this weekend. I...

    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    you can see the small bump/ like every where on the film. I did try some new stuff and think I might have the answer . I picked up a new blending stump and will give it another shot. The plane is perfectly smooth as it sits. I started the canopy last night to think a little more on the finish

    Scale Yellow Aircraft P-47

    I thought I would show some progress photos of the latest build. I was trying to stay clear from the RED filler but, it is what it is... The plane is ready for covering/paint and I thought I would try the Foil. I have a roll of 10 inch but it layed down like shat! It left little bumps from the...

    Ziroli 118 B 25 engine recommendation

    A pair of 35 rear exhaust is my vote. Sam Parfitt built one of these twins last winter with a pair of DA 50's(flite metal on his)but a little heavier. Have fun on the build! post lots of pics

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    well, you guys caught me at the right time, I am ready to final sand and fill. I have no problems trying the joint compound. Are you using just regular premixed USG or a powder 20 minute?

    Interesting, have you weighed the red body glazing vs the joint compound?I am sure the JC would sand much easier.
