Thank you, everyone.
What kind of paint and color You use to paint engine carter?
I use Vallejo Metal Color acrylics, here it is Aluminium and Dark Aluminium.
And I was not idle in those days. Lots of preparations underway.
The fuselage was closed, seams filled, sanded and polished, a couple of air bubbles in the rear bottom end filled with plastic inserts, too. Now it is ready to accept the lower wings and stabilizers.
The wings were all over polished, their resin surface bears some traces of 3D printing, all those were duly removed. When cleaning the leading edges from traces of casting blocks a couple of air bubbles were unearthed - filled and sanded.
I am also doing plans for the assembly. The wings with dihedral will require a simple template. But the floats with 10 struts and two crossbars between them require a special plan. For the moment I decided to build the internal Ns from the single struts, what will hopefully allow for a stable connection of the float assembly to the fuselage, then the outer 4 single struts will be added. I am still not sure if I will do it before completing the wing cellule or afterwards.
Anyway, the template for those Ns is traced based on the dimensions given in Herris monograph.
