Still eagerly awaiting those Flanker pics, btw.

I finally took pics dupes and will PM them to you.  I know you're on dial-up, but there are quite a few pics given the size of this monster.  Sorry, but enjoy. 

Hmm, I dunno.  I'm not quite sure she's worthy for this distinguished build. 

Tell you what, I'll think about it.  I don't want to get too off-topic. 

Hey TG, I guess we are the red haired,freckle faced step children of the GB. Some days all the modern techknowledgy really make life hard.

Steve, it's just another curveball life throws at us Speaking of which.......spring training for baseball starts today.......already

Tony

Yeah, it's freezing here in old Va

i hit t the lhs and pick up some stuff i still need to hit home depot. i will be doing some plastic surgery on the beginning and end of the tracks.

the ends are closed off with end caps that look lik ballast. i m going to cut the ends and add sheet styrene and paint it black to give it the sense that the track goes on

Music Wire for biplane rigging. I'm just working on number 4

hey where did you all go ???

Uughh!!!  Was on a very, very, very, very long overnight winter hike with my oldest boy and his Scout group.  3 hours up the mtn. in heavy wet snow (or was that rain?) followed by trying to sleep in a sauna like cabin as someone threw too much wood in the stove just before lights out and with all our wet clothing made for very little sleep.  The following day was gorgeous though and almost made the 3 hours back down worthwhile!  So what did you all do this weekend?

Cool. 
I have wonderful memories of going winter camping when I was
a young scout.  Sleeping in a snow cave was the highlight. 
Good on ya for taking a whole new generation up there.

I've been working on the vacuformed hatch without success for awhile,
but this weekend I finally managed to make a shape I liked AND not
destroy it while trying to get it bonded in place.  Don't ask me why this
took so long.  It was really quite simple in the end, but I have a tendency
of making things more complicated than they should be! LOL

One thing I did that I think helped immensely with getting the fit right
(and also to secure that flimsy piece of plastic in place for profile sanding)
was to cut a step in the aft area of the cockpit for a good lap-joint bond. 

I also did some rudamentary control panel scratch-work, but it's not
going to be very visible so I didn't exactly break my neck on the details. 

I'm pleased to have that vacuform hatch road-block done.  Now I will
approach the next obstacle: re-making the vertical stabilizer.  Should
be a walk in the park

Cheers, Fellas.

good work sir IL

I am making no progress because I have no proof (no WIP pics)

Tony, with the ed up camera

Looks quite nice, IL.

For myself, this build is #3 on the list, about to become #2 as I finish up the Winter Warriors GB.  So I'll be along shortly.
