Oh sorry my friends - have not say thanks for your nice comments: Thank you!
After exhibiton, illness and a build of a
Benz Motorwagen I decided to continue on this rare bird!
Wooden fuselageTried some weeks ago to mask the engine using tape, but failed. So I put it aside then ... Tried again today with the idea to use normal paper cut in strips. Seems to work!
Here I have a lot of wood, but where to hold this beast? I drilled holes, will be used later to mount the tailplane, nut now for two needles ...
... a clamp can hold now the fuselage and is a nice handle during the paint process.
After white primer - sanding - primed again, I painted acrylic "wood base".
This time I take more case for the seams, here the lower side, looks nice and aerodynamical clean without a wing recess!
And also the upper side seems to be ok.
The next step was the wood simulation with different oils.
Have to wait now for hardening. Later clear yellow/orange will follow.
Cheers,
Frank
