jimbuna Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That is one cool looking helper...he's not called Mike per chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim T Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 How much lasagen do you need to bribe him with Mish? Two words of warning on the Aries pit - there is no control column, so you need the kit one. Also, the radiator section from the kit cockpit that protrudes from the underside of the fueslage needs grafting on to the Aries bit. Guess who found that out the hard way....

AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Just to let you all know I am still progressing with this build and I'm taking photos of the build. I'm just not posting them till it's finished.. This is for two reasons I'm trying a new technique (well new to me) and I'm keeping the colour scheme a secret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Hi Guys, Just a small update, sorry I'm not ready to post an photos yet. but the paint job is progressing. I'm having to send out for more materials today. I'm only going to get one full day on her this weekend so I doubt if she will be finished for another week yet. I do hope it's worth the wait. I'm happy to report that so far things are going well. When I do post I do have a series of in progress photos to prove I haven't 'cheated' Thanks for you patience.
