Good point, well made Alan. Been uncharacteristically fast hasnt it, I wonder if there is a fault on the local, Streetly procrastinator. I'll be looking out for little oriental geezers with yellow robes and a brush now, at least until the usual lethargy strikes again. But in the meantime. Yes that link is mis-fitted... Sorted.

Any spare for the rest of us Ced Now Tank? Lovely, it is for a museum after all Stripe? Much better, for that museum of course Car? After the histrionics did you ever try removing a battery lead for ten minutes or not?

Then suddenly it's here Wings on, fin on and 0.025" Evergreen rod in holes provided for Beavers of an entirely different persuasion, all martial and browny green they were due to be. Including racks underwing for stuff to dangle below them All filled in, sanded and ready for me to hang the delicate little hinge brackets along the moveable control surfaces. Gosh they're tiny and look very easy to cokkup. I'm off now to take care with them, laters guys.

OK John, I will ask CC to pop out to check on you up there, can't have you in danger mate. I expect he'll be bringing you a bottle or two for sustenance too, I know how tiring ladder work can be when every breeze makes it vibrate.

Lovely Yes and of course the model

It's me so I have to say I'm not happy with the decals. Or the seams on the tanks but. That's me. My gripe with the decals is down to the fuselage national markings. US marks of the time were white stars and regular horizontal bars on a dark blue field outline. The bars on the model are not the same size (regular) because the front white bar is longer than the rear one because you've omitted the dark blue upright surround on the ventilator area. Obviously there's a discrepancy here on the decal sheet, it should allow you a vertical line to close off the emblem Should be an easy fix though, gotta say I'm loving this Jug, she's a beaut mate.

Kevin at Magnix kindly replied to my request, thanks Kevin you are a star, the electric motor fits within a tube of 675mm diameter which I computate as 9.375 mm in tiny scale. So the intention is to slip the pointy nose inside a 10mm tube/shape to compensate for things. Which gives me this A little more work rounding off the top and I can begin making a propellor

I'm glad your shoulder woes are getting better mate, infirmity sucks doesn't it. About the Whirlwind info, missing in action, is there anything my archives might be able to assist with? If so let me know and I'll cherry-pick you some pictures or info

Beautiful work John

Cheers Chris, I am having that same difficulty but it has to be done I work on the basis of shaping down from the basic Beaver fuselage at the cockpit area thinning down to a suitably small diameter, based upon solely 'how it looks' because I cannot get the actual dimensions of the motor surround, yet. I am going to email Magnix to request the physical dimensions of their electric Beaver package because Harbour Air have been uninterested enough not to answer my email from last week. Oddly enough the MD of Croman helicopters popped out onto the apron to take a few photos to help me with my helicopter models, I kinda hoped Harbour Air might respond the same way Oh well.

So on we go

Things look seriously likely to get full-on Canadic round here, guess who just bought a Twotter...

I also concur lads hence

Now it's time for SIHRSC to have her verse in this on-going song. 'Meat' to remove Much meat That looks a bit... Yes even the legendary Airfix C-130K underwing tank has its limits This I suppose is a technological break through But for me it's the road to hell Oh well. Next question. Mix the tiniest amount of Milliput that is feasible or do I need to entrust the job to lesser filling agents? Ironic really, if the weak spot had been on the bottom it would have served well, there actually needs to be an air duct down there.

Gots to be pointy-er Oh well pass the sander...
