The pilot give away the era. I have to say, far from my favourite plane era :)

Ok, pretty much anything with a bubble canopy! :)
The P38 canopy has more frames.

The elevator and the color scheme. Should be a bit lighter in color to be scale, but for a prototype, that will do :)

They did not rescale properly but kept them anyway. Once painted, that should do the trick :)
Anyway, covering done!
One massive mistake at the root, did not doubled the rib, forgot, and it warped :(

Now, need to find a scheme for it! :-\

Le fuselage n'est pas un peu long en avant du BA?
Post by: Fred on August 27, 2018, 19:53:08 PM
Oui, tout a fait, entre 4 et 5 cms, je me souviens plus, par rapport au 3 vues.
C'est qu'il y a du monde derrière le BF! Entre les nacelles et le gros stab + doubles dérives, j'ai allongé un peu le nez pour le centrage.
C'est que le vrai est court du nez car le GAU08 dans le nez pèse presque 2 tonnes!
Ceci dit, il suffit d'enlever un couple pour retrouver la longueur plus maquette, mais pour le moment, ça ne choque pas trop je dois dire. On verra avec la déco, ca fera un peu plus "ramassé" avec je pense.
Bref, on verra après le premier vol :)

Anyway, works continue while waiting for a decent weather.
Just have to plug one servo, and do the CofG and we are ready to commit aviation!

Kind of a Chinese RTF effect :)
I think I found THE method that will give the "old" way of using a marker a boot.. At least for me! I finally found what I was looking for for a few years, and so far, I never found anybody else who tried, or even mentionned it.
Here is how:

Non event, a bit on the light side, but looks great in the air.
Happy!
