Following with great interest. I suppose building a SAI.207 resin kit could be already interesting... but the fact you're going to backdate this and turn it into a SAI.7 racer is the icing on the cake! Respects and good luck!

Modeling with a saw! I always like projects that require sawing. It looks great, and I'll be following.

I like extensive modifications, rebuilding and scratchbuilding. Your project looks very good. Interesting machine and great range of modifications.
I'm watching with great interest 👀

Wow, so many different skills and techniques on display…how do you not run out of motivation with that much work?

Thank you all for taking the time to comment, most appreciated! HSC1933, your query re motivation has had me reflecting. I think it's two things:

One, my opportunity to 'do' the hobby is limited, sporadic & unpredictable, so I spend much more time wistfully thinking of what I might do, some day, whenever I next can. So a more involved project gives me more 'think' to mull over while waiting to 'do'.

Two, my family is beset with perplexing health issues & care needs. I spend much time trying & trying to help & support as needed, however it can often seem like we get nowhere or worse regress. So I take a lot of reassurance from the fact that these projects 'progress' - yes with effort, patience, pause & hold - but they do progress. For this reason my recent completions mean a great deal indeed to me!

it is super impressive may I ask what type of putty you are using ?
28 July 2023, 12:12
greggles.w
Thank you Pierre, very kind. The yellow(ish) putty here is Tamiya two-part epoxy 'Quick Type'. I'm relatively new to using it, but liking it so far. Though don't be too hopeful re 'quick' .. where applied thickly I have waited 12hrs or so before sanding. For some this might be irritatingly slow, but for me - a very slow builder - this is 'quick' enough!

Cowling looks amazing. What thickness styrene have you used for vacuforming?
22 November 2023, 14:29
greggles.w
Thanks both! Alec, for this piece I used 0.5mm / 0.020" sheet. I'm still quite new to vacforming & am still loosing more parts than succeeding! This thickness is my starting point with the inevitable trial-&-error process. In this case it was 'good enough', although resulted in quite a thin lower / rear edge. In the photo showing the inside of the cowl, the top 'plate' held by the tweezers is non-vacformed 0.75mm / 0.30" sheet .. compare that to the vacform sides, which look about 0.2mm at most?

Alec K
Thanks for the info. I have had similar experiences, with each part requiring trial and error runs to get a good final part 👍
