Polikarpov want a cracker...Awk! Right JR. Don't call Matron yet I'm saving my best material for later. Make mine a Tetley's, is there cream cheese for the crackers? Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks

Sorry to hear about your mate John.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard, he's out of hospital, has had his med's increased. :thumb2:

You certainly have a knack of picking them John :smiling3:

At least you would be able to see it more easily in large scale so less chance of missing things. New kit as well so should actually fit together

Ha, its only a fill in while things dry, don't want to become a wingy , heaven forbid !!

Matron is busy in China at the moment, but can reroute to see you if you carry on like this. :thinking::thinking::thinking::smiling3: .


Well having put the new needles and tips in I thought all would be well. Sprayed a coat both to the top and base, now all washed off , utter rubbish, large spots of paint. Just nor flowing atall well .Ive checked with neat, to thinned , still the same ?

Seems to have very low pressure, regardless what the gauge says. I even removed the bottom drain plug, no great woosh of air either.
When I spray the paint seems very under pressure, even when I turned up the setting to 40, no difference !
I've used both of the ab's and both seem to be the same just lacking in air. Yet when I depress the value in the connector to the ab there is air there.All very strange,so .4 and .2 in each ab are effected.
Has any one any idea.

Going to post this as well in ab section.

Hi John
Fingers crossed for your mate.
You ain't having much luck at the moment. The kit is a challenge for sure and now the compressor :sad:

Thanks Jim, not going to mess around trying to get that bolt out, hopefully my mate will remove it with out a problem. In the meantime I'll source a new one.
As to luck and the challenge I agree, but just press on regardless.:upside:

Hi Greg, thanks for looking in.
John.

[JR]

Right the tension is building with the imminent arrival of the new compressor , so painting can continue.

Now what's with this black art ," panel line" if any one can advise what I need to do I'd be grateful. I know can search U Tube but would rather ask here before confusing my self .

Thanks .

Does an I-16 have any actual panel lines John?

Pete

Pete I have no idea ! Think I will investigate further as to what a panel line is :smiling:.

[JR]

Pete, having search the web I'm none the wiser, looking at the plane it appears to have these lines on the wing.

Is this what I mean ?

John,
Great work mate.

Those raised lines represent the fabric covering of the wing being stretched over the ribs. The leading edges of the wings were aluminium, as were the inner sections where your model shows flat plates.

Hi John
Panel lines are basically a pin wash for aircraft......personally I use a home brew oil wash using an appropriate oil colour diluted with sansodor thinner....there are many commercial solutions out there, but I would avoid the lifecolour panel line stuff, I couldn’t get it to work at all....
Flory washes are mentioned a lot, and next time I make an aircraft I wI’ll try them.
One thing to remember is that the wash excess is dragged off in the direction of airflow, unlike tanks where you follow the direction of gravity.
