    Scale Plans built P-51

    Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. The large end goes against the gear door, the small end is the cap. When screwed together, a pair of them should do the job.

    Scale Plans built P-51

    Ok. It's been awhile since I've posted anything meaningful, mainly because it's been awhile since I've done anything. At least on the Mustang. As some of you know, I'm the new service rep for Syssa Engines. Besides all that, I took on a second job while my first one is working me to death...

    Here's the latest update - as I said before, Todd has a new cylinder and it's already moved into the production stage. We have several hundred in the que ready for the final process which is the liner. We were trying to find a small shop that could do hard chrome on aluminum. There's no such...

    Why does it just have to be one night? Why can't we all camp in close proximity and make it a 24/7 thing?!?! Unless you're afraid we'll get kicked out and asked not to come back!! :)

    Here's what we're after. I did the entire upper portion of the 103" wing in about 30 minutes. The sanding will be minimal because with the water, the spackling has the consistency of mayonnaise and fills holes, and indentations while the rest of it scraped off.

    Here's the same spot after a spritz and a quick swipe with the spreader.

    Here's an example of when it gets to dry to spread easily.

    Scale Plans built P-51

    The idea is to spread the spackling out as thin as you can with the spreader. I've used water to soften it in the can before, but the new thing here is to use it on the model. As your spreading it, it starts to dry and starts making crumbs.

    Lightweight spackling, a bondo spreader, and a water bottle that sprays a mist.

    I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to work on the Mustang. I've spent 5 minutes here and there but nothing to write home about . This weekend I did get some time to make some significant progress. What I want to show you is finishing technique that I'm using. Now...

    I know how big this plane is (I have one). Would you be in a position to ship it?

    I'm a member of RCSB. And read there often. However, I found the guys here on GSN to be very friendly and I feel like I belong here. You know, kinda like being at home.

    Scale Plans built P-51

    I just looked at this picture closely for the first time. Holy Crap! What a mess. I'm Embarrassed, big time. I've been really busy at work and with issues at the house. My time in the shop has been limited and so I've been stepping over stuff and leaving things where I used them and now the...

    Scale Plans built P-51

    Here's the first picture. You can see that I started the fiberglassung from the aft end. The cockpit sides aren't even close to right. Got to fix that before I go any further. Won't take but a minute seeing as this is a sport scale model.

    Scale Plans built P-51

    I haven't spent a lot of time working on the plane as I recently became the Syssa USA rep. But, I have finished all the main construction, and last night started the finishing process. I'm going to post some pictures and talk about building the radiator. Man was that a challenge. I've...

    Thanks Brett. I haven't posted anything in a long time, because i didn't think anyone was reading it. I'll post some more pics tomorrow, with a little explanation about what I've done.
