Fred:
For the radio, place the component on the fuselage side, and trace the contours with a pen (roughly). Do "canals" for the servos wires and the snake pushrod.





And everything is fitted inside. Everything will be invisible, except for the 2 servos harms for the ailerons...


I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll do an hatch with coroplast to allow me easy access to the radio.. Just in case !  :D

And that's it for now !

Fred:
Well, after a little bit of work, the P51 is ready to fly !
Snow and low clouds today, so I spend my time doing the painting.
The model has been entirely sanded, then I have applied a layer of white primer.
Once dried, I sprayed the model with Silver...



Well, that's shiny !  :D

And I started to do the scheme I'm going for.. Starting with the blue, and painting the canopy.



Drying now !

Tomorrow, panel lines, invasion stripes and stars and stripes !

Sean:
Hey Fred,
Looks cool. Did you prime directly onto the reinforced tape? Any special fillers? or brands of primers?

Fred:
Hi Sean,
Welcome to the forum !  :D
Thanks for the comment on the P51 ! But looks much better in photos !  :oops:
Did the finishing really quickly !

I have sanded the tape until that go to the layer of fiber glass (reinforced tape). Then I have brushed a primer, relly basic one, in fact, the first one i found in homebase !  :wink:  :P  I'm sure you can find some primer special for plastic, but I was not going scale on that one, just practical !  :D
Then, the silver is sprayed(can), and the other colors are model paint.

Not sure that is going to hold.. We'll see !
That will be a god test !

But if you want to go more "good looking" and durable, I'll put some vinyl after I taped the entire plane.. Plastic finishing !  :D

So, here we go, ready to fly !
Just have to put back the aileron's pushrod and launch the thing !



 :oops:  Well, not great, but after all, this is made for combat !  :P

With the access hatch open :



Next, the flying ! Can't wait !

Who is up for a fight ??  :D  :D

Sean:
That looks great now. All in a few hours???
Can't see my 109 being built as quick, and as for a fight, i'll have enough problems keeping it in the air, without you knocking it down.
Thanks for the pictorial instructions in advance.

Seán
