Hopefully this thread works in cooperation with Gary's (MacSongLi) build thread for his RCAF Texan repaint.
I have been wanting to do a new Texan "Build Set" of photos for some time.
The existing Photo Build Walkthrough (that you can download from my website)
is an older model...there have since been a few changes.
So, its time to do an updated build and compile a new set of photos.
This will be a build of one of the new AT6 Air Racer kits.
This is "Lickety Split" as flown by Bud Granley.
I'll do a standard "build thread" using what will hopefully be the new Photo Build Walkthrough
that I will make available for download at http://ift.tt/1ydbr7D.
....
Printed out all the model pages this morning
and started this build at about noon today...waiting for the New Hampshire Nascar race to start.
Lets see how much I can get done before the end of the race (about 4 hours?).
...
All Parts pages printed on plain white 65lb cardstock (Letter 8.5" x 11".
Instructions and Formers printed on 20lb plain paper.
Didn't bother printing the Cover page.
I didn't coat the paper, but I recommend spraying the printed pages with something like
a Photo fixative. Krylon makes many types of such sprays.
...
Former page I glued to two layers of "cereal box" cardboard.
Sand the glossy printed sides, and glue the two layers of cardboard together
using 3M Spray 77 spray glue.
(Use a brayer roller to get good contact)
Then apply the Former page in the same manner, to the cardboard.
*I have removed, from this page, the part for the horizontal stabilizer.
It does not need to be laminated to heavier card.
...
Cut out all the former parts and cut out all the connecting slots.
Be careful to match the width of the slots to the thickness of your Former parts.
I use sandpaper (cheap nail files work well) to shape all the cut edges of the parts.
Don't go overboard with the fuselage formers, we will adjust their fit later in the build.
...
Assemble the Wing Spar and Rib assembly by joining the two main Spars with the center joiners.
Glue, clamp and wait.
Then slot all the parts together - use plenty of glue at each connection for a solid assembly.
Make sure to keep everything as square and parallel as possible until your glue is dry.
At this point, you can also apply some CA (cyanoacrylate) glue to the edges of these parts.
It serves to strengthen and stiffen all the parts and keep smaller parts from delaminating.
Be careful not to glue your assembly to the worktable!
