Annother Islandmodels 1/3 Scale Ka8b build log
Spanner:
Hi All,
At last some progress on the Ka8b, Airframe almost complete just one aileron left to build and some servos to install and she will be ready for covering.
No major issues to report but found that the ribs outboard of the ailerons were slightly to long, easily fixed by trimming the trailing edge and a little sanding.
I am covering the model with Diatex / Diacove and so far I have covered the tail feathers and the underside of one wing and found that with a little care it goes on quite easily
Here are a couple of photos as the model is at present and hope to finish the building work and complete the covering soon.

looking really good
what did you make your frame work from in the cockpit ?
Spanner:
Hi Mick,
Canopy framed was made from brass tube, fixed frame work in cockpit was made using timber dowel. Some brass and aluminum sheet used to make control leavers and other linkages.
