simontie Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Okay just about there with 963, made the stand and it looks ok added the flying props and did a bit of panel lining but this and weathering is a new thing and a bit of a black art ..... looks ok though seriously under estimated the size of this.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Fantastic. And some great work on the props! About the stand though, which is a neat idea, but could that bend the wing as the weight of the model bears on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i suspect over time it will, i have another one in the pipeline and hope to change this over soon the new one will support further along the length of the wing 🤞🏻🤞🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
