787 Dreamliner PSS
Fred:
This is looking good Mr Pearson! :clap: :clap:
JohnPearson:
Another few hours spent on the 787 tonight, with the tailplane covered, the fin covered and the engine pods covered and painted.
The tailplane was first re-inforced with glass tape, then covered in solar film and finished with silver trim line.
The fin was covered in brown paper, then covered in solar film. The brown paper adds extra strength to the fin with little weight and gives a nice finish and a good base for the film.
The engine pods where covered in solar film , with foam paint added. The pods will take alot of force when landing, therefore I added cardon rods,pushed inside the foam to give them extra strength.
Next I will get the engines finished and painted, then finish the fuselage.
Happy landings

:clap: :clap: :clap:
good stuff john, do you think i could tow you up :?:
billscottni:
Don't see why not Andrew, it should be fairly light.
Difficulty will be fitting a hook to it :?:
JohnPearson:
Hi Andrew, thats a good idea, I will fit a release hook later onto the 787 when I have her flying off the slope.
I done a little work tonight on the model,the port engine is now finished, however the paint work is a little poor because I had a problem with the silver paint, which reacted with the undercoat and had to be scraped off and a new undercoat applied.The surface of the engines are a bit rough, but in the air you will not notice them. Here's a few pics:..

That's it for now, happy landings
