Eduardo Arguijo
looking great, what paint scheme are you going to do?

Bill Mathews
Eduardo - the box art I think . Something simple

Lenny Hoffmann
Nice! I am following

Andrea Morris
I have just ordered this kit, so pulling up a chair

Paul Moore
I'll be starting mine shortly so I'll be following as well. That engine looks really nice. How's the fit with the cowling? It looks like it will be tight. Thanks for the photos ....I'm inspired.

paul - they're beautifully made - but so thin . the magnet arrangement is a little fidgety but it works . very,very,very close tolerances . if you're the slightest bit out it compounds the problem . mine doesn't line up in a few places but it's good enough for me . one side and the bottom are glued on anyway . test fit . test fit . work some more . test fit , test fit and then test fit again is the secret ....

i actually started this in march last year ... just trying to get the unfinished builds done ...

Paul Moore
Very nice! Thanks for the info on tolerances. You've done a great job on a great model of a great plane. That's the trifecta of modeling!
