keefr22 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Blimey, what's the Travelair's plastic made out of Chris, to be such a drill destroyer?! It, and Firefly, are both looking great though! Do you have a build thread going for the Beetle? Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieW Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm always breaking drills too, there are many embedded in most of my models. Both are looking fantastic, loving the colourful little Travelair even if it has eaten a few drill bits. Richie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Thanks Richie, it's a real pain when drilling for rigging, they were 0.6mm ones too which means I only have one good one left now. The Travelair nearly got put on the shelf of shame, but fell back in love with it and now really pleased with the decals on.

Love your work Thanks Anthony, very kind of you indeed. I must admit, I nearly shelved the little Travelair, but glad I didn't in the end. Just getting the undercarriage repainted and then can hopefully get the little racer finished. Thanks Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
