Hi Jeroen, do the birds in your part of Amsterdam walk everywhere, or does your 'thing' for detatched wings not extend to them? :D

Hehe... don't you know... In Amsterdam we don't need wings to get high.

 

I've searched the internet and can't seem to find anyone who ever built this kit. Getting the fuse to mate and fit properly is a bit of a challenge but I managed to roll it into a nice cigar. Mr. Surfacer is curing now, so tomorrow I'll do some sanding and show the result.

Good point! Still remember trying to explain to my kids what we were smelling when we went passed the coffee shop just down from the apartment we rented on the Herengracht a few years ago. Went by train to the beach at Scheveningen one day as well and got back late, it was fun trying to explain why so many people had the same red curtains and light bulbs as well! :icon_eek:

That sure sounds like your typical dutch day! :)

 

Still trying the whip the resin into shape. Some panel lines were lost in the process, but I'll restore them and check my reference for extra lines and rivets.

Nice, didn't know they used covers like that for transport. Looks like you used an old lipgloss or similar?

Since photo bucket tried to screw the pooch, I deleted many of my broken posts here and will use this post to show some pics from the progress:

That looks like a proper engineering project. I'm sort of getting memories of the one I reviewed now. Good to see it being built.

Nice to see the images they've sent you, that's real customer service.

The mechanism looks very impressive.

That's just hilarious! 

:D

Making the transition from no wings to no fuselage...  I suspect that a naked engine with a seat and controls may be what comes next!  :)
