S1581 Hawker Nimrod MkI
Jose L. G. replied to Danny Fenton's topic in Hawker Fury Mk 1 - RAF's Finest Biplane!
Hi Danny. About "latex gloves". The latex is permeable (lets pass throught) to solvens and chemicals. That`s the reson that they recomends barrier creams with latex gloves. The vinyl and nitrile gloves are not permeble to solvens and chemicals so are better for use with epoxi r/ polyester resins. Using the correct protection in neccesary for avoiding alergic reactions.

Hi Danny. I`m still in the background. My Fury is still missing the top wing. My eysight is not better tan before, so I have serious problems but decided to finish it. Probably I resume building next january. I know the feeling when no one make comments on your own thread. I few years back I made a "Panther" autogiro designed by Richard Harris and didn`t received nil comments. I`ve seen your videos on tissue covering, as has passed a long time when I used this technique. Also I`ve seen your video on fiberglassing and peel-ply application. Very entertaining. In the recpect I`d seen that you use latex gloves and these are no recommended actually, Better use the vinyl or nitrile variety. Still pending to see the foil covering video. Also I`ve suscribed tou your channel. Please keep coming. Best Regards José Luis Spain. (now rainy) -

Tony B's replica

Fantastic work Tonny ¡ What type of glue had you used for attaching the paper? I suppouse must be compatible with the depron you had used in the model. At the moment I`d been unable to source some dope in my side of europe (restrictios on shipping). I ordered some from Retromodeller but cancelled the order due shipping restrictions. José Luis -

Nice work Danny ! I´ve used the RDS system in my competition/Composite gliders. Not in scale subjecs. Recently I don´t have more RDS sets, so I am not able to use it again. I`ll have to think about amini Lathe. Ummm. I bought a few RDS sets for Futaba servos. Now I have no more in stock. Jose Luis -

Progress…. Added the bottom sheet of the nose Hatch. Once glassedI`ll cut the Hatch. Also made a few detail work on the wing pockets for the archor plates of the center panel. Added the missing sheet on the bottom of the center panel. Today carved and glued the foam blocks on the bottom of the nose. As I understand The sheeting finish at the front landing gear wire, behind is covered by the radiator. (??) Tomorrow Will sand the foam blocks to shape. Also working in the mould of the cowl. The plug is finished and I`d applied a few coats of release agent (wax&hellip I`ll Split the mould on a top/bottom plan, so I`d made a parting board of melamine chipboard. Also drilled 3 holes for the keys of both parts. I use Steel balls. The parting board and balls are being waxed. Cheers. José Luis -

Hi Guys. Progress of the last days. After gluing the ply supports for the struts added the remaining capstrips. Also added the leading Edge strips. Today shaped the leading Edge strips. First used arazor plane, next a sanding block. Also sanded the top trailing Edge strip and faired the wingtip. Stilla bit of sanding to do. Next work is to finish the bottom of the nose. Checking the plan I noted that the block of balsa has no use because the bottom must be more or less 1/8" thick. I am going to makea bottom Hatch so I glued some 1/4" triangle around the bottom. Prepared a plyt cover with balsa. Now drying. Tomorrow I`ll cut the Hatch and glue in situ. Next I`ll add the side cheeks with blue foam. Till next. José Luis -

Thanks Danny. You too ¡ Completed all the capstrips on the bottom panels except the top of the ribs that support the struts. Bottom capstrips. Top of wings. Also debur the brass parts and filled the top edges for avoiding cutting the thread. Fixed the brass parts with epoxi, tied with kevlar and fixed with glue. also added some balsa to fill the space betwen the ply and the spar. Need a bit of shapping. Will continue. José Luis
