KhAI-3
styrene supports to make shape thicker - to fit the fuselages
also added stryrene inserts into wing root to fit the counterparts.
to glue both wings under +- corretct angle, I have created and 3D printed the jig
large gaps again filled with styrene pieces, glued togerher
dry fit of the canopy
a bit of sanding and rescribing
masked and glued canopies, plane ready for surfacer
things started to by little bit more complicated - I decided to learn something new
want to create the depressions on the wings
bit polished surfaces, will see how it will looks like with surfacer and later with paint.
meanwhile I finished one small project of mine
jig for planes, my friend will test it, I will try mine, will see if it will function how I wanted.
again some progress - a lot of riveting and stynylrez surfacer
silver/steel paint of the middle part and masking
some brown preshading
final blue on wings and on middle areas
next will be white paint over front tips, canopies and rudder, adding engine, propeler and other small stuff
small update - added engine with prop, some wiring and exhaust pipes from brass pipes done,
