first scratchbuild

Postby Squishyp38 » Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:09 pm

I am building a racer model, called the comet, from plans that are not to scale: measurements are on the plans. Is this scratchbuilt? anyway, here it is:

And yes, that did say 91.4 mph!
Uugghhh! no plans. this will be a REAL drag. if only someone could make me full sized plans, sigh. (hint hint)

pdf plans:

The P-38 is arguably the best... Forget that, it is THE BEST fighter of world war two, and is epically AWESOME!

Oh, and I am doing stick and tissue, or built up, or whatever the article says, not sheeted in or solid. (tissue covered)

I would download this to a memory stick and take it over to Quick Copy or someplace that can adjust that plan to printer size. At least there is a reference scale on the plans to help with this. Looks a lot like the Guillow's Javelin. I don't understand the fractional refernces along the fuselage, but good luck. Put it this way, build it to any size you want, nobody is going to say "oh that's too big!" Good luck, that 91 miles an hour seems like a lot out of a rubber band.
