N917Y Episode 55 Starting to look more like an A 26

Great stuff happening to High Maintenance! This time we were able to install the both nacelle tail cones and their associated plumbing. Makes a dramatic difference in the appearance of the plane. That, also, got some large parts off the floor. always getting closer to first engine start.

I gotta say, I'm a fan of painted nacelles! Black would look good with the yellow accents!

Beautiful use of split screen. Well done.

[@mustangbob51]

I was definitely trying. Had a hard time with the second camera.

[@TemereMax]

polished!!!

[@briansilcox5720]

Douglas vs On Mark. Useful mod incorporating nut plates. Polish nacelles is correct with WWII insignia you have. Painted nacelles (black) were a maintenance procedure introduced later, since they would typically be covered in soot and oil residues.

[@mustangbob51]

Amen. We've upgraded many if those situations with nutplates.

[@MarcvanExel]

I would only paint the engine cowlings and keep the nacelles aluminum or painted silver.

[@mustangbob51]

Marc, I think the decision has been made to just polishing. Thanks for watching my videos

[@MarcvanExel]

@@mustangbob51 Thanks for putting them up!

Polished nacelles

[@BonziBill]

Do you know the model # of the putt putt your looking for?

[@mustangbob51]

Don't know the model, but it's powered by a tecumseh 1 cylinder engine. I think they were pretty consistent throughout the bomber world

[@mustangbob51]

Bill, from everyone I've talked to, since your first comment, they were pretty much standard throughout the bomber fleet. I haven't been able to up with a specific part number, but as I said before, all the same, 1 cylinder. Tecumseh APU.
