Warbirds Replicas Winter build thread.

Nice work Ron and thanks for documenting that detail.  

Graham , if you are wondering how to stick Ron's little assembly onto the plastic , there are a few options .

1) rough the plastic up in the contact area then simply epoxy wood as Ron did .

2) contact glue a pad of postcard onto the cowl , which can then assumed to be "wood" as far as most wood glues are concerned . 

 

I actually brown papered my original plastic cowl and it was so tough that it never developed any splits or chips over continuous flying for six years !

Holy old thread alert Batman, did you ever finish your LA7 off Graham? I have two or three unfinished airframes and was about to dig another kit out to start but for a change have shown a bit of restraint and decided to finish off the part finished ones first. I spent this afternoon shaving wood off one half of the LA7 wing, hopefully i can get the other half sorted this coming week so i can join them together, now i have picked it up again i am determined to see it through to the finish.
