TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Happens to me with some frequency! Just do your normal checks for cracks elsewhere and repair. It's a nice kit and will leave you satisfied when you finish it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is Alex the old hands, 82 in 3 weeks, are not as steady as they were. However no matter all back in one piece again. Plus Dupuytren's contracture on my little finger is making great strides umm that is for legs not little fingers. Just been making up one of the missing air intakes. Coming on. quite like scratch building. Laurie Edited October 10, 2020 by LaurieS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Great recovery, Laurie, and so glad the primer showed the integrity of your assembly work! You've done a great job on this little beauty, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it will ultimately appear. Those stairs look terrific, by the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant H Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Lots of progress and a couple setbacks... Sorry to hear of the injury, and the loss of the Rapide. Best of luck finding a kit that suffices. Love the power carts and stairs, Laurie It's the little details that make a dio! And the Dakota is coming along nicely! Cheers from NorCal!

Hi Grant lovely to hear from you. Hope things are well & the dogs barking. Kept thinking I must email then memory not so good 2 weeks 82. Got the same Rapidekit as a replacment. This time I will alter the nose. Dakota coming OK just finished the colours white & Silver. What are you up to. Lauire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 End of July, my garage burned down, a huge trauma, and a royal pain in the bottom. So, once I can get contractors to build me a new garage. I will be refilling my lost stash of kits and aftermarket bits.. But other than that, I'm back at the bench after several months of housing Covid-sheltering, relatives. Making (very) slow, but satisfying progress on my F-16XL... I hope your hand is feeling better, and please give my regards to Pauline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
