I managed to get a little bit done over the weekend, if the weather hadn't been so good for flying yesterday i'd of done a bit more

First off was to hysol the control horns into the wings. I masked off the area around the slits, pushed as much glue into the slit as possible and slid each horn into place. I removed the excess and used a wet finger to make the fillet, plumbers styley!

I bonded the rear former that holds the back of the tailpipe in place with hysol using a nozzle on the gun to give a noce smooth fillet (i had used some drops of cyano around the former to hold it in place while applying the hysol) Once dry i painted it, so it matches the rest of the inside of the model, that i had painted in grey primer last week.

Next was to mount the tailpipe to the bypass. This was done by drilling the stainless tabs on the pipe and after a measure drilling holes into the bypass, where i bonded some captive nuts. The alignment between the bypass and rear of the tailpipe was alot closer than i thought it would be and the only step out of line is between the bypass and the extension piece which joins it to the intake. Steve had told me that would be the case, so i'm no longer worried about it, although with a few washers i think i can get it bang on :af


just for henry i took some pics
