LJI nearly finished.
The Neubauer LJI in 1:30 scale is nearly finished. I have just one question before I attach the scaffold onto the capsule: did the LJ round 5B have a white band above the scaffold mounting ring. ROTW page 184 shows that the real one "might" have had white band, but page 186 shows it without.
I'd like to resolve this before I attach the scaffold to the capsule. Thanks! Jeff

Here's where it's at now. Booster and fins are painted, capsule is painted, LES is completed--including the nozzles. The scaffold is still removable so I can apply the white band. I'll do the orange details on the fins with adhesive film after the silver paint has completely hardened and degassed. It's taken over a year to build so far--I can wait a few more days!

It may take over a year for the silver paint to completely cure. I have the worst luck with it. Bill |
