Bbdave Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I thought I would have a go at this one I have inherited this kit from my late father he has removed a lot of parts from the spru I think to plan an rc model as there are a list of wing areas etc. In the box. Any how here's the box and parts. Dave 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckw Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I built this a couple of years ago, and found it quite good despite its age. The only thing to watch for is getting enough weight in the nose to avoid tail sitting. Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Colin I've squeezed as much as I can under the cockpit about 10g the instructions call for 20g so I think there will be some going under the floor in the fuselage front. The cockpit is up together no big issues. Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Hello and welcome, never seen one of these built before so think I will follow along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbdave Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Things progressing well the fuselage is together plenty of filling and sanding to do but the bonus is no panel lines to re scribe!. Dave 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbdave Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 Today I masked up the greenhouse on the front hopefully it'll turnout OK. It looks like an underground train at the moment. Dave 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 That's coming on well Dave. You seem to have got those joints nicely filled and sanded Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbdave Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Sorry I have totally forgotten to keep taking pictures but I have just taken the masking off the finished job. I'll post more in the gallery. Dave 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
