    Thanks Terry. No engine in this one. I did come across a 1/18 V-1650 made of resin but it was too late. The cowl was a already closed. Thanks much for looking in... Geoff

    Hi James, I Have no idea what kind of tape that is. It was left over from the Mrs.Xmas stuff. It seems to be some kind of pressure sensitive foil. It was the thinnest stuff I could find at .0015 thickness.I wanted to show the rib tapes but wanted the effect to be subtle. I have some left over...

    Matrix, Very nicely done finish on this build. Not at all overly done, but just enough to make it realistic, especially on the bottom...lovely work. Best Geoff

    This will give an idea of how things are beginning to come together. You can see the tape layout on the rudder prior to priming with Tamyia Primer. It was generously applied so it flowed on the surface to blend the tapes in. I didnt want them to be prominent. They should be visible from some...

    Moon Just to be sure youre seeing this right...the fairings are vac formed duplicates of the resin forms that were made using the silcone molds. What you see here isnt the molds. Geoff

    NAA P51 D-5 NA-1/18 scale

    While the fillets still need to have the fastener detail applied, they would left for later finishing in order to move the tail plains forward. The Mustangs tail planes were fabric covered originally. I think the change over occurred during D-20 production but Im unsure. By wars end, there was...

    OK, so once both molds were poured and cleaned up, it came time to see if the vac form could be realized. Below is the raw pull. There is still much work to be done on it but the fundamental shape is there. Youll see how much different they are than those found on AC with the DFF. It took...

    Hi Moon, Ive never seen a Tamyia kit so I cant say for sure. Im sure they did supply the proper tail plane fairings for each. Ill note also that they do have some glaring errors in the kit that Ive seen on built up birds, but thats a different discussion. Cheers geoff

    Afternoon All, The next update starts with an apology for double posting the same photo. The last photo should have been this one. This shows the tail section ready for molding the tail plane fairings. This aspect was the real make or break point. If this couldnt be done, the Mustang would end...
