Re: Marutaka P-38 build thread It is so nice out I decided to let the P-38 catch some sun! It's getting there slowly, the underside of one boom is still not planked but that is the last major construction component. Next is the fairings and scoops, then sanding, filling, finishing. |

Re: Marutaka P-38 build thread The hatch for the center pod is almost done, it blended into the pod really nice. I'm working on getting the throttle servos mounted today, they are going to have to be sealed into the fuel tank compartments. While not ideal from a maintenance standpoint it really is the best location and I'm ok with needing to cut open the sheeting if they ever need replacing. |

Re: Marutaka P-38 build thread So I need to play around with different grits and see if I can get a better result. I also have half a roll of the chrome Monokote left which I will test. The rivets are being marked with a soldering iron. I made a tip for it with descending sizes of brass tubing fitted into one another, the smallest is 1mm I think. It takes the slightest touch to make the mark. |

Re: Marutaka P-38 build thread While the glue on the hatch is drying, I'm playing around with the chrome ultracote. I'm giving it a sanding with 600 grit before applying it to give it that unpolished Aluminum look. The ultracote has the slightest texture to it, almost orange peel like, which when you sand it becomes super visible...... |
