RGL Posted March 8, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2022 I needed a break. Opened the box and so few parts! No aftermarket For this one as it’ll be pretty crap but I need a cleanser. Luckily I bought up on Infini models sanding paper. I also seem to have lost a propeller! Just missing completely .

Canute Posted March 8, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2022 Interesting bird; unusual extra vertical stabilizers on the tail. Must have had a strong yawing effect, despite the contra-rotating props.

lmagna Posted March 9, 2022 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2022 Interesting that you chose this plane to build at this time. Just two days ago I was discussing this very aircraft with a friend. They were a robust aircraft and had a surprisingly long service lifespan all things considered. They were eventually replaced by land based turboprops, helicopters, and jets though. Are you building it British, or Australian?

lmagna Posted March 10, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2022 That works too. Almost all of them were pretty much painted the same no matter what country they were flown by.

RGL Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted March 10, 2022 I must admit I find it overrated the amount of filling and sanding this requires. Jack12477, Old Collingwood, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
