Sopwith F1 ‘Camel’
THE NOSE BLOCK
1) Remove parts in the following quantities from
the laser cut sheets:
1 off each NB1-NB4, EC1,
3 off EC2 and 3 off NP1
.
2) Sand the internal diameter of the NB1, NB2 and
NB3 parts to remove the ‘tags’ and burnt edges
using a piece of sandpaper wrapped round a
pencil or similar.
3) Make up the nose block as indicated on the
plan. If you intend to paint your model, paint the
dummy engine cylinders before fitting them it is
easier now than later.
4) Laminate parts NP1 with the ‘T’ marks in the
same orientation. Make sure that the central
hole is aligned, and that the edges are all flush.
Allow this nose plug assembly to dry. Once dry,
trial fit it to the square hole in the fuselage nose,
adjusting it to have an easy fit. Cyano adhesive
can be run around the fuselage hole and the
edges of the part to harden the wood.
BUT
DO NOT glue the plug to the fuselage
.
5) Glue the nose plug to the nose block, ensuring
that the hole in it lines up with the hole on
NB4. Make sure that any glue that squishes out
between the parts is removed; otherwise it will
prevent the parts from sitting together properly.
Allow the completed nose block to dry.
6) Glue a plastic nose bush in to the hole in the
nose block using cyano adhesive.
DON’T
ALLOW THE ADHESIVE TO GO INSIDE
THE BUSH
