After consuming many bottles of screw-top vine with the neighbors, discussing the intrinsic holistic values of "Fifty Shades of Gray" we got down to the serious business fo mocking up my new J2F Duck project. I need to thank all of my neighbors for posing. Now I just need to lift the loft lines and scale it down to 1/16 scale.

And for ElbertC - While this is a cool picture, what caught my eye is located far away on the ground.

Or, like this one? I acquired these from the Hobby SHop that I grew up with. When the owner retired in the early 90's, he was going to throw them away, but I convinced himthat collectors would go nuts for them. They did and he gave me three of these diplays as a token of his appreciation. They are near & dear to me.

Continuing on DonC's nostalgia: Anybody else drool over one of these displays high up on the Hobby Shop wall like I did when I was of the single digit age?

Using Mr. Ducketts term..."plug in" deviation for the nose wheel. Note complexity of plan layout.

I marked the location of the exhausts with a pin and it's now headed to the paint shop.

The instructions have been the same as long as I can remember, carve and sand to shape. It's fairly easy but slow is the best approach. I glued the sanded to shape guns onto the wing with Testors and the CA with kicker. The final step was to lay in some filler where they join the wing and then a couple of coats of dope on them.

I start with a new blade for this stuff. Fortunately it's very good wood.

When the covering with silkspan was complete I brushed on two coats of clear nitrate dope and allowed it to dry overnight. The next day I sanded it with 320 wet/dry sandpaper and put on three more coats. The day after it was all sanded again and this is after 5 coats of dope. Running your fingers over the surface is the best way to insure it's all smooth, at least for me cause these old eyes don't see small things easily. The doping process leaves some rough edges on the wings and tail which you can definitely feel. This is after 5 coats of dope.

With a different back ground, it sould be a Ramp shot at Edwards. Now on to the installation of the cockpit innards and finishing up the canopy.
