Default RE: Atlanta...

Thanks Fellows!! I'm super excited!!

Nathan...I'm going to be splashing this Fuse, Belly Pan and Pipe tunnel first thing...I've begun the process of taking her down already (sorry smw)...Will be a long time till "this one" flies...(It will probably be a tricycle gear if/when it goes back together...he he)

I'm actually going to concentrate on getting molds done first...That way..Folks who are interested in an Atlanta will (hopefully) have access to them in the not too distant future!!

I plan to be setting split lines for the transfer this weekend...I hope to be starting the lay-ups by the first of next week...

Since this is a good "flying airplane" that I don't want to destroy...I will be making a splash/transfer off it instead of making the "molds"...This will allow me to do some re-work and touch-up type of stuff...Then I will make a true Master Model from the re-worked transfers....That is what the actual Molds will be made from...This is kinda the "long way" around...But the end result will be two fold:

1) I don't have to sacrifice this nice example of an original ZigZaw Atlanta...

2) The Atlanta's you guys get will be a bit nicer from the "Fit and Finish" stand point than the original aircraft...

BTW: Here is the original thread where "smw" was first putting this aircraft into service...If anyone was interested:

Have Fun...
