Nosecone J-29 Tunnan Variant

[Jesse220]

That is fascinating you did well

Even worse than I remember it!!!   I've screwed up several builds using superglue as filler, I've only ever pulled it off with one build.  I can't stand the stuff.

Mix it with talc, works well that way. Once set has about the same degree of hardness as styrene

Thanks for the pic on how you opened the wing to make the intakes.....nice !

And yes, those were the Tunnans I was thinking of ! Neat, neat stuff.

[Jesse220]

Yes that is a nice jet

Model aircraft dope (the sort that is thinned and cleaned up with acetone) used on flying models makes a good filler for balsa wood when mixed with talc. It goes hard and is easy to sand, I've never tried it (even accidentally) on plastic, although I do know it attacks foam. Anyone know if said dope reacts badly with plastic?

YES!

It's lethal! 

The styrene gets all winkled and pitted. Not recommended at all.

Any other Ideas to make the Nosecone Tunnan?

à la J-7MF (itself patterned after the radome and intake of J-10)?

That might not be a bad Idea thanks

Like a Lightning or a Sabredog for me.
