February 20, 2019On the right course again.5
February 23, 2019Fabric, stitching and ribs structure restored.6
February 23, 2019Temporary rod for holding during airbrushing.7
February 23, 2019No significant difference between the original AM and restoring/self created structure8
February 23, 20190,0 extra parts in the cockpit (will be closed) because the focus is the entire look of the Gulfhawk.9
February 24, 2019First (resin primer) and 2nd color optimated base coat in place. Orange coming soon.10
February 24, 2019I'm not a friend of resin... so I modified the kit parts myself and corrected the carburetor inlet.11
February 26, 201912
February 26, 2019I cut too much of the cone so I had to add an additional sheet.13
February 26, 2019Slightly modified contour of the carburetor intake.14
February 26, 2019The windscreen is thin and correct but for good fit I had a lot of work.15
February 26, 2019Moveable part is too thick. Fortunately I saved the reworked kit part from the second F3F Project (for vacu forming via toaster).16
March 3, 201917
March 3, 2019Tail wheel attachment holes should be closed.18
March 3, 2019AM R-1820 is very well designed but in my opinion the pushrods (0,9 mm) are a bit too thick. I reworked them by using 0,68 mm rod.19
March 3, 2019Thin part of the resin cone is not heigh enough. 0,6 mm thick plastik-wedge helps.20
March 4, 20191st step.21
