clive_t Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Mind numbing detail - I swear those engines would actually turn over if you get some fuel into them. Well done sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Scarborough Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Man....I think this everytime you post: I wish I were working on my Gotha now, because you're giving us a step-by-step tutorial on how to build this behemouth properly. Damn....I may just go ahead and jump in......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thank you clive for your time looking and commenting. Michael as usual your praise is overdone , but most welcome! I can suggest that you wait a while, the mask set I've been adding to and developing has helpeda lot with a number of the procedures. If you wait I'll send you a set to try on your Gotha. I think yours will epitomize the kit and take it farther than I will. Back to the work: oops , I haven't done any today! Here is a shot of the frontal view, and I will say that the front struts are immediately in jeopardy after installing ,I have caught them and bumped them and weakened them considerably. The yellow tape helps but I'm thinking of going to red tape. Any way watch out! : 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
