It's coming along fine Ace. This brings back a lot of fond memories for me. Good to see that some things don't change much. Nice one. Wink

Maybe they're waiting to see how this one turns out. That would be the sensible thing to do. Wink

If you intend flying it don't go too mad on the paint. This will add weight which is the one thing you can do without.

well, this is my third one, i think u've alredy seem my other model(s) i have a gazillion plastic and a gillow's supercub static... i posted pix a while ago, i also had a Mustang, huge, also gillow's, u prolly know it, the on ethat comes on the huge box. so they alredy know. im pretty good at this stuff, personally i like balsa kits better than plastic ones.

Emil is gonna be static, i dont have the nerve to fly a month's worth of work to crash or something, Roll Eyes

i wanna do some interior work, and wont be puttin the gear down, i think it looks rather too modelish with the gear down, unless i can have a decent gear bay adapted.... also, i wanna use an scale prop no the red ugly coarse one provided... but carvin it is too hard, im not that experienced, any help or iideas are welcome

well, this is a balsa kit, so it doesnt have that many... but u can add pieces, fir example i am plannin on doin the cokpit, like i did with the cub.. by ur number im guessin u got a plastic kit, i like those, but not modern ones.. lol i like my classics.... Roll Eyes
