This bit had to be made from scratch, it started out as a flat sheet of copper…

Hi,
Did you make that whole assembly? If so then hats off to you it always makes me jealous when I see the mechanical abilities of other people compared to my rather crude skills. The F-82 has to be my favourite piston engine fighter as well.

Just the cover for one of the actuators is new (& the decals), the rest is overhauled/repaired parts. We were sent what were thought to be 2 F82 actuators, but one wasn’t. The one that wasn’t, was converted using parts from P51 actuators.
The tricky bit is getting ether into the distats & getting it to stay there while they are soldered closed…
