Scale 50% Dalotel 165

[Forgues-Research]

I didn't like the results of the paint, I believe , the paint was too thick to spray, soooo I rolled up my sleeves and sanded for near 4 hours, cleaned, re-taped add a bit more windshield washer in the paint , then sprayed again, wow what a difference, now I like it , learn something every day

a bit everyday

One wing stored , the other on the bench, lots of work to be done but one thing at a time , Here the part of the wheel is for retaining the hub cap which is being 3D printed as we speak

I'll try to get more pictures in, when I'm intense on something I completely forget about the camera.
So now I'm getting the aileron ready for covering, still lots to do, and files and sanded the landing gear strut, reprimed it and add a bit of glazing putty

a bit of tid bit news, we are developing a 50% continental scale engine of 500cc for the Dalotel and today I got permission who the chief designer is , and that is Johann Kolm of Kolm engines, Since he sold Kolm engines, now under a different name, he will design only scale engines, Stay tuned
