Lovely job, Ced!

Giorgio wants to spin the props so they'll have to be fitted when I get to Norfolk

You've even still got the prop collars. You could attach them and have 'em spinning!

 

Blowing the prop round was the first thing my Dad did to any build I showed him (he was an apprentice engineer at RR during WWII so I think it was quite important to him to see propellers turning!) and to this day I still judge all my builds by "does the propeller turn freely?".

 

Regards,

Adrian

Your dad wouldn't like my builds then, as the props are all glued solid to stop big kids like @giemme playing with them.....!!! 🤣

The bendy roof gun has been glued and straightened!

 

Into the box she goes:

Room for another? Maybe not.

 

The next post here will be both assembled and on their wheels at the Museum.

Hopefully.

Oh wow ....................... I'd better get me skates on then! And as soon as we know it Steve @Fritag will be back from his latest holiday this year (is that number 5 or 6?), and @giemme Giorgio will be getting paint on the Jug,  I'd have lost any chance of catching any of you guys up at all.............. what will become of me........ :frantic:

 

Lovely work there Ced.
