Now when most of the hangover from the 08-Open contest here in Sweden is over it's time to start something new. And for some unexplained reason I got a sudden urge to start cutting up resin bits. . So, obviously I pulled out the 1/48 Belcher Bits North American BT-9 kit from the stash to make a SweAF Sk 14 Trainer. Not often you see this plane get built in any scale. A preview of what's in the box can be found here. This is what you get to start with, resin parts from Belcher Bits. Plus you get a complete occidental Harvard kit, of which not much will be used. On top of that I shelled out for a replacement engine from Engines & Things, plus I got some help to make new wheels for the Sk 14, as the for the type so charismatic balloon tires where not included. As a fact, I decided to start this build with the engine installation, as I suspect it will require quite a bit of work. These are the bits involved. Engine & Things Wright R-975 Whirlwind engine And the Belcher Bits parts Hmm...It's going to require a bit of TLC to get this puppy to fit. Well, we're of the starting blocks, hope to get the steam up on this one. /Johan
