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. ;)

Hey Ace, how pieces is that thing? I got a raptor, not too fond of the oldie planes, and it's about 200? I think...  ;)

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

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, ::) 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 :)
