AliGauld Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Hi There, For your perusal my second attempt at a kit. Innis decided that it was to be the Camel. I knew this would be "challenging" but this little kit fought me every inch of the way. I've learned a huge amount building her though. It had it's pitfall with fit and knocking off the tail skid whilst sanding didn't help. That went the way of the carpet monster but a wee drill, a piece if 0.2 Kanthal and some milliput put something approximating this back together. What lunacy made me want to rig it is unknown but as I picked it up to plan that out I dropped it. Repairs were completed and the rigging was done over two days. At the end I found a technique which seemed to work, not the tidiest but it all obeys the 3 foot rule. To be presented to my nephew tomorrow. Thanks for looking and any pointers welcomed.

It was a struggle at times but taught me the art of gentle manipulation for those bits that had locator pins facing completely the wrong way such as the undercarriage whose pins were at 90 degrees to the actual holes and when to walk away and come back later. Thank-you for your kind comment. Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
