    Cut my deep blue recognition stripes and almost my finger! Just barley shaved it! LOL! Decided to call it a night. (Friday). This three picture add at a time is making me get behind on posting. used a piece of paper as a square to mark where the stripe should go

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Started putting yellow on! Used one continuous piece for the outboard section. Left a two rib bay gap for my recognition stripe. The inboard section was covered bottom then top in two sections due to the canted inboard leading edge.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    After mostly figuring out how I wanted to attach the flap linkages, I decided there wasn’t a whole lot of material left, so to make me feel better I added a little bit of glass surrounding the hole. It ain’t much, but it’s something. Honestly don’t like the geometry when stowed, but it works.

    Not exactly sure what’s going on, but GSN is only letting me upload 3 pictures at a time. Using the web version... Tapatalk has been like that for a couple years now too.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Worked on my rudder linkages. I did not receive any 3mm or 4-40 ez linkages (only 2mm/2-56) so I got some.

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Played with some windows. Tried to find the best method for not sending a #11 blade through the window or my hand. Seemed flowing the vacuum formed crease had the best control and the trimming with curved scissors to get it right. Used formula 560 canopy glue. David gave a little tip in his...

    Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works

    Worked out a few details today. For reasons I cannot explain the wood firewall bugged me! So I painted it Rustoleum aluminum followed by a clear coat which tarnished it a bit... which worked out great giving it a weathered look. The oil cooler is put together in two halves. I used CA and...

    Worked on my fuselage pin stripes. Talk about tedious! Used the pin stripe backing as my spacing guide. Still need to put the large light blue upper stripe on the other side and seal a couple other spots. Basically done covering the fuselage other than graphics.

    Thanks Fellas! The Falcon 23x8 CF luckily didn't touch the water much. There are some small erosion marks... if it were a wood prop that'd be a different story. I've seen what water can do to a float plane with a wood prop!

    Glued the vertical stab/rudder assembly in place using 30min epoxy. Cleaned excess epoxy with a paper towel soaked in alcohol. It’s nice that MMW has alignment tabs/slots to help put everything on strait. Just had to tape in place for squareness and that’s it. started adding my monokote...

    patience my friend! Takes time! I’ve probably reduced the footage down to 10min.... but with slow motion it’s back up to about 14min ha ha ha I had way too much fun with the wind and the puddle. I’ve been wanting to try some different features with my video editing and I have a lot of good video...
