Your Tempest looks great, Azgaron.
That will be a neat model when it is completed.
Well, I have a funny story about my build:
When I was bonding the vacuformed hatch onto my B-58, I became a bit
concerned that I had to flex the material slightly to make it line up with
the fuselage profile. One of my biggest fears in modelling is completing a
build with material stresses residing in it, then a year later it a seam 'pops'!
That would create a defect that would be nearly impossible to fix. So...
I got the great idea that I would use a heat gun to soften the material just
enough for it to mold to the proper shape and release the residual stresses.
What I got was a big melted divot in the side!!! LOL. See what I mean about
making things more difficult for myself? At least the material stresses are gone.
I had to put a massive layer of putty over the area, will sand tonight after
it has thoroughly dried.
OT:
I've been AWOL for a few weeks. Summer is coming around and I decided
to build a little RC airplane to add to my collection. This is my first completely
scratch-built balsa plane. I hand-cut every part from sticks / sheets. Sorry
for the diversion, but I thought you guys might appreciate it.
