    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got some of the reinforcements done. I also added some extra blocking for the landing gear. Installed some tri stock infront of F5 as well. I installed one T-Nut in the firewall and it protrudeds out the front a bit. I'll have to cut some 3/16 shim stock and glue it in on the back side of the...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    After getting some of the forward sheeting in place, I found another "revision" that needs to be done. When I cut the new firewall, I didn't acount for the top sheeting. So I'll have to adjust for that soon. I may also have to recess the bottom of the firewall a bit, for better air flow. I'll...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I've been using the 2oz cups with measuring marks on the side. The old ones were thicker and I could re-use them a few times. The new ones are very thin and not as easy to remove the epoxy from. Maybe I need to start eating applesause! :)

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I also found another mistake I made. The front vertical hardwood 1/4 x 1/4 should have been cut shy on top by 1/4 for the cabin top cross member. I drilled it out and squared it up for proper fit.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    After checking the landing gear plate, I found that it was cut too small. I built a new one and installed the blind nuts for the Robart gear before gluing in place. I also glued in some stock for strength under F7. Mixing up several small batches of epoxy is time consuming and wearing on my...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Landing gear plate to fuse doubler added. This is where I saw other builds miss this step. I also added the left side mid cabin doubler.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Made some larger cuts on the bottom corners, and recessed the sides of the firewall for better support, before gluing it in place.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    I used F5 and the dash former to get an idea of how I wanted to build the new firewall. I had to make a few adjustments along the way, but I think it will work out ok.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Hit a bit of a snafoo on the fuse sides. With the stretched plans and poor die cutting, when I went to check both sides were the same, they didn't match completely. For any one with a Bud Nosen Cub to build, I would suggest building the left side, with cabin top, then build the right lower, and...

    Haven't been able to log in for a bit, now I know why. The new format looks nice!

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Built the left side first. The instructions say to build the rear first, then attach it to the front side piece. I pinned the side piece down, and built the rear off of it. Made more sense to me.

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Got started on the fuse framing. Glued the two fuse sides together and marked out where I need to make the cutouts. I went over the BUSA 1/4 scale Cub build to get an idea of what I needed to do. The BUSA Cub does more pre-fab work in their kits. I like to completely understand what I'm doing...
