Mike Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok... 2nd kit into my return to the hobby, and I get all adventurous! I fancied a BIG vacform, and the Stirling piqued my interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Wings: It was during this build process that I noticed something odd about the wing... the profiles appeared to have the aerofoil section upside down I think this was the final straw that convinced me to put this one to one side That and the fact that the engine nacelle halves just didn't seem to fit, in whatever combination I tried them Maybe I'll get it back out one day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswoofie Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Bloody hell, where've you got these hidden away then...

Bandwagon 106 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You know what I love about this hobby? Everybody's individual approach to it. We have people like Mike here who, somehow, return to projects like this and the MB.5 after several years, and crack on with it. This and his Dynavector kits are as natural to him as my (comparatively) ready made Phantom and Tomcat kits are to me. Well done Mike, you are doing kits I would never do.

miduppergunner Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Aha but have you noticed he doesn't finish them??? I call him a starter!! It is only accurate to say that he has not finished them yet - can you confidently say that he will never finish them? Tsk tsk I do wish that you Mods would set a better example and not keep trying to score points off each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
