Default RE: AK Models SU-27 Build Thread with many Mods

Used a mix of 30 min epoxy & milled fiberglass to attach the firewall and landing gear plate to the bottom.




Next. I wanted to make sure that glue got to all the formers, so I poked holes in the sheeting above the formers and dripped thin CA into the hole.




First and foremost, I HATE sanding. That is why I bought and use a razor plane . Using the razor plane, beveled off the corners.




Then, wet down all the corner sheeting with water, waited for 5 min, then razor planed some more until I achieved a rough rounded shape.






Now I can add the side formers and start making it look like an airplane. Should start the ailerator mod this weekend.

More to come,
