    IIRC Russian aircraft were made from moulded birch strips over a former. Cees

    You mean naked aircraft? Must be a psychological thing Cees

    Fairings and scribing done. Vacform canopies now, hope it works out, just one of each. So no mistakes. No pics just yet. Wish me luck. Cees

    Postman brought a Trumpeter Bearcat for me today, and a MDC Typhoon has been ordered. Looking forward to it too. Cees

    Sometimes the groundcrew were instructed by pilot's to wax the aircraft for more speed. Cees

    Jeroen, I brushed it on, it's Mr Surfacer 1000. Cees

    I am a fan of Mr Surfacer, great stuff. Now the tailplane and main wingroot fairings stand out more With a coat of the magic liquid. N First time I used it, not the last time. Next trying to cut out the vac canopies. The painting stage is rapidly approaching. Cees Using the photobucket app for Ipad, click the thumbnail

    Jeroen, Exactly, it stands proud of the surface. Dave, thanks for your reply, a true modeller. Cheers Cees

    About those wooden blades, they were made of compressed wood and resin to make one very hard Material. The leading edge had a brass sheath. The whole blade was covered in a material like Plastic. This was very hard. I used to have an original Spit propblade where some of this covering had Cracked. In that case the blade was not serviceable. So you would never see wood shining through. Hope this makes sense. Cees

    I have a feeling Martin seems to like what you are doing James. Same here Cees

    They expect you to heat the seat back and bend it around the seatbase? Or is the plastic flexible? Cees

    So the bottom of the Scratchbuilders 1/32 kit market is about to fall out. These kits have sold at ridiculous prices over the years. This one wil not be cheap though. But HPH is surely making a name for them. Cees

    Chris, After this one, what's next? Cees
  19. Wingco57
    In 1/32 that is. Cheers Cees

    Thanks Vance, not much is seen but I know it's there. Cees
  21. Wingco57
    Fully agree, excellent build. Cees
  22. Wingco57
    I would think the starboard root has much less wear as you can only get in on the port ide, Nice progress. Cees
  23. Wingco57
    Yeah, right! Cees
  24. Wingco57
    At this time of day? Cees
