Hello Ken:

I am with Chris on this one.  I always found it interesting that people could scratch build a marvelous model.  I too will be following this to see how you progress.

Thanks Chris & Mark,

 Here is where I am today ......... right after taking this photo I screwed up the primer and had to strip the whole center section and re-tape..... just shot a light coat of primer again...... Might just strip it again and start over if I don't like the results...

 Thanks Again Guys!

Thanks Des & Andrew,


   Here is the center section with a coat of primer .... then I think I will finish the other side and the outer wing panels before all the sanding begins again...........

Looks like a kit part (thats a good thing cuz it means it is very consistent) Nice work so far!!

Hi Ken!
your work is super!

One question: how did you get the shape of the wing profile such as this?


thank you

  Hello Edo,

    Thanks,

        I would go with a little thicker piece of bass-wood and make a gauge out of plastic for the upper and the lower profile..... you could also make a sanding block in the proper profile shape to glue sandpaper on with Elmer's paper glue (works like a charm) .... again upper and lower profile... but the lower profile is the harder to manage because of the curve ..........

Thanks Bud.... he may just be or at least tickled pink that I am giving it a go....

The hard part is near completion by the looks of it. Very nice!!

Here is the latest...... after sanding the primer between the ribs I started adding the false ribs with tape..... the reason for sanding between the ribs and only in the direction of the airflow will be apparent once I spray a final coat of primer ...
