The new strut of the tail (1 mm diameter):




Vertical upright must all be sanded (a lot) and sometimes recut.




The new windshield is glued.




The transparent plate used to assemble the windshield with the rest of the pod to form a pretty solid set.



On the transparent plate I plan to add the trap made of plastic sheet. That of the photo is a test.

That is going to be a master built. Absolutely great what you are doing out of the Hi Tech kit!

Anyone know what a black optical dope and optical red dope (Acellos brand)?  A  black  varnish and a  red varnish???

And, since it will rain all the weekend:

An article (in pdf)  speaking about  cellulose acetate varnish used in aviation ( Acellos brand, Nauton and brothers. Marsac). In french...

Thank you.

The upper wing, so long that it bends.



It was passed to the steel wool and surfacing.

The top of the wings will be painted as specified in the manual.

" The wings:

under surfaces: 1 coat of clear dope (No. 1), 2 coats of optical black dope and 1 finishing coat of clear dope (No. 3); The roundels are painted with paint Ripolin under the lower wing.
Upper surfaces: 1 coat of clear dope (No. 1), 1 coat of optical black dope, 1 coat of red optical dope (a semi translucent color) and 1 finishing coat of clear dope.
No roundels on upper wing, flat tail and rudder, at least on the manual.
Since we do not-have wings for the Voisin 10, I can not tell you what color the upper shoulds looks like, goal It Would be interesting to try it a panel, I'll think about it!"



So:

- A clear coat on the canvas.
- An "optical black" layer (translucent black) so black ...
- An "optical red" layer (translucent red), varnish mixed with red.


This gives a chocolate hue ... which obviously changes depending on the proportion of red (on the test picture below: red 1/3 or 1 red varnish / varnish 1). The lighter shade is due to the varnish which "laundered". Darkest are black.

An other one...



You can see the gauge  on the fuel tank. 


For once I was not mistaken.
