RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread

Royster:

Just installed a set of Sierras in the FW I'm building for a friend. You do have to dremel out the openings in the wing ribs so they'll fit, especially under the air cylinders. Make...

RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread

Hello, all.

I'm in the middle of the FW-190 build for a friend. This one is the all composite model. Power is an Evo 25cc gasser, using Sierra retracts. We've gone through three or four sets...

RE: NEW KMP BF-110 95" BUILD

Here's a good photo article of this airplane to drool over. It's from one of the plastic model sites. If anyone ever needs info on building scale models, these are the guys to ask!

RE: NEW KMP BF-110 95" BUILD

I have to agree with the initial assessment, this is one beautiful model airplane. The glass work is impressive, and the paint is equally good. I don't know how close the scale outline is, but it...

RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread

Hey, I resemble that remark!! :D:D

Tell you what, Wally. I'll trade your P-40 with the red spinner for your three blade spinner, as long as it has the Focke Wulf attached to it. What do you...

RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread

Y'know, I gotta make a decision here. Do I swipe the two-blade spinner or the three-blade? So many choices......:D

RE: KMP Bf-110 Nothing like Twins

I have to ask: what exactly is the "right way" with the "right colors"? Full scale airplanes can vary widely, especially if the airplane was built by different contractors. Every manufacturer has...

RE: CMP/GSP Zero

Zero, the spar on my model is 130mm from the leading edge measured at the wing root where it joins the fuselage. She'll balance just a bit tail low at 133.

Still working on pics....

RE: CMP/GSP Zero

Zero, I didn't buy retracts specifically for this model. I had a set of CJ P-51 retracts and struts lying around, so I modified them to fit. The kit wheels didn't seem like they would hold the...

RE: Warbird on floats ?

Sure they would. Several WWII fighters were modified to accept floats; the Spitfire, F4F Wildcat and A6M2N Rufe (Zero) come to mind. A google search will get you all kinds of info on these...

Hey Chad, doing good here! How's things in your neck of the woods? Sent you a PM, drop me a line when you get a few.

CMP/GSP Zero

I just finished my GSP/CMP Zero, this is the one with the 71 inch wing. I'd like to know from those of you who have flown this model where your CG is set. The manual says 145-152mm from the leading...

RE: KMP Bf-110 Nothing like Twins

I have to agree with F82FAN - give me the basic paint job and markings and throw in decal options for two or three different airplanes. The primer version is a good option as well, as I'd love to do...

RE: NEW KMP 95" B-25

F82Fan,

So what's the deal with that cool serial number on the port fin? Was that a field mod? [sm=stupid.gif]

RE: KMP F-7F Tigercat

I'm a little surprised that all these Tigercats are coming out that heavy. The one I built comes in about 22 pounds less fuel and flies beautifully. There is no added ballast; we got over the tail...

Bruce, I had that problem on one of the flaps. There was just no wood in the leading edge of the surface and the only way to fix it was to cut the skin out and add the wood. It wasn't hard, just a...

VK, it was funny, one wing fit together just fine and I had to sand the crap out of the other one to get it to fit. I still ended up with slight gaps on both sides, so I filled the seams with a thin...
