Daniel it's not either of those processes but the flame spray is somewhat like it . I sent you a message with a basic overview of our process Ron

Thank you for all the complements. A knockoff tool is used to remove the spinner and the can be purchased . I attached photo of the dash show a new technique we developed to achieve a simulated leather dash covering. It's a combination of our plating process and paint, great for those tight...

The home stretch!!!

Thanks Chuck,,, The gaps are even better now that I have installed the gaskets... I'll get some more photos up soon...

A couple more photos

Sorry for not posting any photos sooner but the assemble of the chassis took longer that expected,,, like that never happens :-) We got the chassis back about 4 weeks ago but due to our schedule it wasn't untill a week ago before we could get started installing the body. The body install was as...

Jack it started with a modified HWCVD combined with our customized cooling process. I dare not say anymore :lipsrsealed:

Thank you .I really appreciate the complements of the warbirds... Fran heres the photos of the plastic and carbon fiber 917 induction and fan cover I was talking to you about.. It wasnt much to look at before we enhanced it with our metal plating and to get one made from a sheet aluminum would...

Mark I documented the entire build on RCU and I attached the link if your up for some reading. Its long but if nothing else you mind find it entertaining :shy: P-38 Ziroli designed, built and aluminum plated by Metal-morphous

Here's a close up of the detail work we did to the aluminum for the photo shoot. Its been polished back to a shine since and we will age the skin to replicate the full scale Lightning Im modeling after we get a few flights on her.

Jim That's my old 1/7 scale P-38 that I sold a few years ago and its here for a few repairs and a fresh polish. I attached some photos of my Nick Ziroli design 1/5 scale P-38 that sits in my office. It wasn't even finished when it was the magazine did an articular on it. My son in law has...

Larry this owner of the P-4 had us prep,aluminum plated and polish the doors, rear section and cockpit area.. We had to fabricated some panels for the cockpit and with that the total was around 3600

As we wait to get the chassis back from another shop I thought it would be good time to polish some aluminum.. :shocked: This is the best of both worlds, you get the ease of working with fiberglass but the beauty of polished aluminum... Fran again I would like to complement you on the quality...

I know,, How unusually to see a RED Ferrari,, But they just look so good red :coolgleam: We will let this out gas for a week or so before we make it really shine

Jack that product is made for boat repair and will make the gel coat way to glossy for what we do. Hey Fran,,, I'm starting to like this P4 in zebra stripes but Im not sure if I could sell that to Ron:laugh:

Bill we use a product call Fiber glast 186 with our special sauce added :shy: The Gel coat has out gassed and urethane primer applied. we let that out gas for a 7 days and today we applied a guided coat. The final sanding step was started today and it will not be long before the base color is...

The gel-coat has been applied and now we wait:rolleyes: This stuff takes the min. of 7 day to out gas,,, now what should I work on in the meantime??

The body work is completed and we have let the fillers out gas for a a few weeks, now it time to apply a few coats of our polyester gel-coat. I will say that RCR bodies have more gel-coat than any fiberglass bodies we work on,, I could get away with out applying more but old habits are hard to...
