Youngtiger1 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nice, I love the painting of the nozzles. Can't wait for the next update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
black_widow Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Hi all I ended up with motogondola The first thing to be done is to restore the panel line as the line of those who were in the basic set is not very accurate. (it's not my foto))) For this I used the drawings of the aircraft B-1B and a little correct it as in this foto but if you pay attention to the bow of the motogondola, too, there is no power lines and had to be recovered for that, I cross-checked DACO book) I checked with pictures from the Internet. The next challenge was to make the hatch because it is not present in the base set. And turning edge Then make rivets. Next, pre-shaiding, filters e.t.c so to be continiume....................

black_widow Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi all A little update for today I tryed to use the Tamiya Panel Line Accent Colors for washes before painting and the reasons why i used it becouse:Flawed panel lines will show up.Poor sanding will appear rough.Putty and CA glue flaws will show up.Seam gaps will show up.The dark color will fill the depression before paint fills it up, making a stronger impression after painting.(Thank you for your idea Chuck)))) BEFORE AFTER Best regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Now that looks great. So, how's template are you using and are those drawings from Daco book? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikkod Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Great! Much better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
black_widow Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Hi all and merry xmass A little bit about my progress in B-1B I complited with stabs, bomb bay dopors, momotogondolas, wings in progress now Left wing flap housing is in progress. I made solid ribs. Now I'll start the same work on right wing. After that I'll make skids for flap extension (it'll be the same for both sides) and after that flaps, aelerions and hydraulics. This will finish flap side of wings And I'll can start work on front side of wings. Best regards Alex Edited March 18, 2019 by black_widow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

black_widow Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Hi all I have a little bit question :unsure: I have two aftermarket nozzles: 1) from Eduardand 2) from Barracuda and I'm a little confused which is better ? Looking at the Eduard nozzle, they need solder to put the parts together and they are not very detailed but the inside diameter looks to be more correct than the nozzles from Barracuda. For the Barracuda nozzles they don't need solder and they are more detailed but I'm not sure about the inside diameter. I mean about these lines (pointed at by the black arrows) If look at those areas in a real photo, you can see that those areas have a narrow spot(pointed at by the red arrows) IMHO. Â Best regards Alex Edited March 18, 2019 by black_widow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 WOW, this Bones is really starting to take shape. I built one of these about 10 years ago and the difference between mine and yours is like that of an adult to a child. You are rocking this, cant wait to see more, keep it up!

erik_g Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I believe thw difference in inner diameter is due to the barracuda nozzles being partially contracted while the eduard PE-nozzles and the ones in your photos look like they are fully opened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nozzles have variable diameter. They could be closed or opened. Eduard nozzle is in fully opened position and barracuda in semi-opened position. Is this semi-opened position correct then B-1B stay in ground ? Best regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erik_g Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Nozzles have variable diameter. They could be closed or opened. Eduard nozzle is in fully opened position and barracuda in semi-opened position. Is this semi-opened position correct then B-1B stay in ground ? I thought you was asking which one was correct, and I mean that they both are, since it is variable. But what is correct on the ground I can´t say for sure, since I am in no way a BONE expert. But until we get one to answer I dare a semi-educated guess. A quick google turned up images of slightly closed nozzles, so I guess the nozzle does on the B-1 as on many other combat aircraft, change when the hydraulic (or rather fueldraulic) pressure changes after shutdown. I for one will use the Barracuda nozzles on mine. I have them and I have the eduard set. Rather than go insane I take the easy way out :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Great build thread. Can you post a picture of both the Barracuda and the Eduard 'burners together to see the difference in opening size? Thanks. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Thans man, of course i can 1) Eduard nozzle 2) Barracuda nozzle and one photo (looks like nozzle then B-1B stay on the ground had position semi-opened) if so closely look on this nozzle IMHO Â Best regards Alex Edited March 18, 2019 by black_widow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
black_widow Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) So generaly question is. when the B-1B on the ground and the engine is off witch the nozzle position (fully opened or semi-opened) ? :unsure: Best regards Alex Edited January 25, 2016 by black_widow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Mike Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I've never seen a B-1 parked on the ground with the nozzles in anything other then what you pictured in your third picture above when shut down. I am not a B-1 expert but I have been around the test jets a fair amount. The Eduard set is defiantly not correct for a powered off aircraft. I would use the resin nozzles....

A-10 LOADER Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Have to agree with Skinny Mike, the resin ones look more the part. The Eduard ones are too straight. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
