Bobs_Buckles Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Pete, Nice work thus far. Can the exhaust stack be bought over here in blighty? Or does one need to go direct? Nice to see the mojo has been reawakened. Von Bobski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see the mojo has been reawakened. Von Bobski Bob, I bought it from the States, quite good delivery only took about 8 days to get here, I must admit I ordered 2 whilst I was at it, 2 exhaust stacks + postage came to about £11.

T-Tango Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Nice work!Do the engine cowlings come off again or are they glued? Thanks, no the engine cowlings are glued in place, they are not a tight fit and unless you are going to do a dio. and with me just putting them on a shelf, they would eventually get lost, this is why I glue them in place. Cheers Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Tango Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Morning all; Salutations from the Western Front, I'm declaring this as finished. Whoops just noticed, having taken all the photo's, todays deliberate mistake, I've forgotten to put the windscreen on, you will have to use your imagination until I get round to glueing it in place.

Epeeman Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Pete, Sorry for late join in here (only joined as new member last weekend) but just wanted to add what everybody else has been saying - A really, really, superb build. Looks just like the real thing. Has it taken you long to get to this standard of workmanship? Also, roughly, on average, how long does it take you to complete a build like this. Regards Epeeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Epeeman, I build about 3 or 4 a year, this is only my 5th WWI plane, 'Rumeys Devil' which I'm currently building is no. 6. Cheers. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
