RE: New Build - Dave Andersen Ki-45 Toryu
Filelts are done on one side. Lots of tedious time making templates. Teh fillet was done in 4 ections. Teh section from Former F-5 to F-6 was simply micro-balloons and epoxy. Then there wesr 3 separate sheets glued to the top side. The rest of the upper fillet was comprised of 3 different sheets of 1/16 balsa. the first sheet was spanned from F-6 to
F-9, and is shown in the first picture. The second sheet/picture spanned F-9 to F-12, and the last sheet/picture spanned F-12 to the aft of the rear 1/32 ply fillet base. Then is was all filled will wall spackle to be later sanded to clean up imperfections.

The fuse is all glassed. Time to fit the wing center section to the fuse and build up the belly pan. The wing center section is all glassed and sanded smooth, and the outer wing panels are in primer with the servos fit.

Ok, the wing panels are all in primer and ailerons glued in with Gorilla Glue. Now, I have installed the center section on the fuse in preparation to build up the belly pan. If you look closely in the second picture, just behind the cockpit, you will see the mount bases for the upward firing 20 mm cannons (X2). Nothing fancy, as they will be covered by the 1/64 ply to make up the fuse top; just some 1/2 inch balsa sheet cut at a 32 degree angle. you can also see the filling primer on the tail, to find imperfections that will be filled with Evercoat.

As I finish up the belly pan and fairing, I thought I would post a picture of the dash from a company call Scale Aircraft Components (SAC). This one is specifically for Dave Andersen's Ki-45.
