I'm Back

[sotoolslinger]

Wait for it.

[sotoolslinger]

Sandified





I still don't have the belly contour  right


So more sanding

[Ed S]

It's a good thing you enjoy PSR so much.   

This is coming along nicely.

[John Howling Mouse]

YUM!   

[Brian da Basher]

Looking wickedly sleek, Ron!

I've got to tip my hat to you. Taking on as much PSR as you would probably have me whiffing in a padded cell.

I'm already looking forward to your next update!

Brian da Basher

[Eddie M.]

Very sleek shape. Looking forward to the first finished fly by!!

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks all y'all I just got back home yesterday  I hope to get several updates in this weekend.

[sotoolslinger]

Still didn't have that belly contour like I wanted it.


So take it to a bench mounted belt sander


Now I got it So I went ahead and cut the radiator intake

[sotoolslinger]

So here is my new painting area

Here is the view out the door to the modeling room

This is why I use different color primers

You can sure see all the flaws now




Back to the PSR

[sotoolslinger]

We are getting very close now





But we ain't there yet



By the way ,why is my frikken flat gray primer glossy

[John Howling Mouse]

Ah, STS, aka "The Puttyist"
Love it already, Ron!   

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks my brother I just spent an hour resanding the putty I stuck on this am. Waiting on primer to dry

[Sisko]

It's looking good.

All this prep work will be worth it when the main paint job goes on

Waiting for more

[sotoolslinger]

Sisko I certainly hope the final finish lives up to all the effort
Now with 16 cylinder engine



Oh and also quail

And the cylinder head fairings



I also have it smoothed down enough for the landing gear doors and oil coolers to go on. I will engrave the nose gear door later today
Lets not think too much about the landing gear configuration I'm pretty sure if we don't imagine how close together all the wheels would be we will all be a lot happier

[Brian da Basher]

Thanks for the shots of your heavenly painting area and the view from your bench! You've got this city guy green with envy!

One thing I really like about you is how you never cease to take a few steps back to get everything just right. Man I wish I had that kind of fortitude!

This baby's gonna be hotter than a real down-home Texas BBQ!
