Go on, jump right in! Hot Pepper Sauce, exercise for the grey matter and the best fun to be had in modelling, what's not to like? Whenever I got stuck ( quite often!) I was always helped out with great advice and encouragement. Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to finish the Servia first (still a couple of months of work there). Thanks for the advice, so you think this would be too tricky for a newbie? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie I've got the Woodman book, got the encona, grey matter questionable - what could go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Utterly amazing scratch building, all the more so as you have used every day materials, so I admire your skills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, so you think this would be too tricky for a newbie? Should be fine. There was only ever one of those things so that makes it a ‘mono-plane’! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong with this Scout but the materials are cheap and having another go is a learning process. Sometimes a very annoying one!
