Warbirds Replicas Tempest - A VLOG


Recommended Posts

Advert


Paints - B & Q tester pots (I'll let you know the colours I used when I go back up to the workshop tomorrow)

Aluminum tape - any, it's used for duct joints and for taping joints when using foil backed plasterboard. To start off have a look here

Amazon

I hunted around in my spares drawer and used this SLEC

While I think of it

 

Any advice on where to get the various paints from? manufacturer and colour please

Supplier of the aluminium tape used for the canopy?

Any details of the tail wheel used? or I'll just have a hunt around in my spares bins!

 

Cheers

Chris , the grey upper surface is basically primer grey . The green is more important . I used a Valspar paint from Band Q called "woodpidgeon " 

(apparently , though confusingly named after the bird , that bird being grey ! ) 

I like that green so much , I did the Mossie in it too . Spot on I reckon .

Hi Ron,

 

Confused, in this vlog you sheet the fuselage and then say you used the technique used in the FW build to install the pushrods. image.thumb.png.bb626f987db7bd23ceafc0ff7b81fd46.png 

 

But in the FW build Vlog you install the push rods and then sheet.

Could you share the Tempest pushrod method please or I'll just do it the same as the FW190 (just mine didn't come out as well as yours!

 

Or are you talking about a natty way of feeding the pushrods out of the fuselage after painting?

Cheers, I'll do as the FW190, fit them, cut the slots and fit the servo tray, then finish the fuselage sheeting. Once covered and surfaces all glued on fit the control rods and heat shrink the last wire just in case the horns don't end up where I expected.

 

Roll on the brown paper later this week ( 🙂 )...after engine testing on the Douglas Boston!
