| scigs30 | Comet North American P51 Mustang | Parked | 04-Jul-10 13:37 |  | | Views : 1580 | | I covered the wing and fuselage with Japanese tissue pre-shrunk on a picture frame. I applied the tissue with thinned down white glue and shrunk with light mists of water. Everything looked great after shrinking but 1 hour later, my wing developed small stress winkles at the root ribs. knowing I was going to use Japanese tissue, I added some gussets, but I should have laminated two 1/16 root ribs to prevent the stress wrinkles. At this point the stab and rudder have not been covered so I pre shrunk the tissue again on a small frame and then covered the tail surfaces. If I used Domestic tissue then I probably would not have had those issues, but man I sure like the look of white Japanese tissue. I like both types of tissue equally and really don't prefer one over the other. I did remove the side stringers since they did not look right under the tissue. 2 coats of dope have been applied and now she is off to the paint shop. The prop is built per the plans for display only, I won't try to fly her with the balsa prop, probably use a peck prop. |

| David Duckett | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Reference | 04-Jul-10 13:11 |  | | Views : 1346 | | Happy 4th of July! Although I would dearly love to paint the Mustang in the green and gold of Miss Velma, there's just too much detail on it that I don't care to tackle, i.e. the checkerboard at the front and the red mustang on the rudder. This can be done without too much hassle and while it won't be excatly these numbers, the overall colors will be correct. I think this is just as classy and I really like the simple design. Mine will have full invasion stripes on the wings, just cause I like'em. |
