    Ira's 2012 BUILDS!

    Thank You Dr.!
  2. BEAUTIFUL RADIATOR!!!
  3. NICE BiG SEAT!!! I used Black Felt to cover the Quad Seat. I carefully cut a little bit at a time untill I got a Good Fit! Sometimes I use old Mouse Pads for work surfaces. It is pretty easy on painted pieces... I sprayed glue on the back of the Felt and attached it to the seat back! Hope you like it...
  4. HOOKIN' UP!!! I needed to make the Exhaust Pipes longer so that I could Hook them up to the Headers, outside of the body. So I added some more 1/4" Tubing to the Exhaust Pipes... Then I added, 2 larger pieces of tubing on the ends, so that I can fit 2 Headers in each Pipe. I painted the ends flat black. Now it was time to mount the Body. I fit the Exhaust Pipes into the Body, fit the Body on to the Frame and fit the 4 Headers into the Exhaust Pipes at the same time. Then I put a couple of drops of Zap-A-Gap/Green Label between the Frame & the Body, under the seat. Here is a photo of the Headers fit into the Exhaust Pipes...
  5. Thanks David! Yeah, that's why they were picked to be the Pilots....
  6. GREAT PROGRESS BRIZIO!!!
  7. Thanks for the kind words Tyler!
  8. CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's a lot of Builds & they all Look GREAT!!!
  9. SCOOPS!!! These 25th scale Scoops turned out to be the right size for the Quad! I added a couple of Carbs and painted them with Testors "Lime Ice". Here they are in place! Another View...
  10. Thanks Matt! Yea, maybe Flat White with red or blue Rocket Graphics I thought about making fins that run down the sides and they get tall enough at the back to support the wing on the ends. Maybe I'm still in the Primer stage...
  11. EASY EXHAUST!!! I found an easy way to make Flexable Exhaust Pipes for the Quad...notice the Black Pipe! I cut the Cord off of an old Dell mouse, and as it turns out the Cord is the same size as the Kits Exhaust Pipes! Here are all 4 Pipes in place... These Pipes are not glued in yet, I'm still working on positioning...
  12. Thanks Anthony! White with Blue Flames Sounds Good! I got some "Real Fire" Flame decals on Ebay, they aren't blue but Flames might be nice...
  13. BEAUTIFUL WORK JIM!!!
  14. LOOKS GREAT DALE!!!
  15. QUAD TRIKE ON THE BENCH!!! I should have this one done this weekend... I painted the Engines with Tamiya Silver Leaf, then the Engine Blocks Flat Black and the Cylinders got a Black Wash... From the side you might not notice the Extra Engine... But when you see it coming up in your rear view mirror, there is no doubt... The Gas Tank just fits in between... You will find the WIP photos in the "All The Rest" Section...
  16. Thanks Wayne! I like that idea too, yes it will be floating...
  17. Thanks for the WW2 plane graphics idea, I'll check Google for examples....
  18. GREAT START RAY!!!
  19. I'll check & see if I have those decals...
