TJTX Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 Got my new fuselage in, and a fair amount of my aftermarket so far. I've paid for my AMS props but I'm still waiting on confirmation of the order. Now if I can steal some bench time I'll wrap up my P-47 and really get to work on this big bird. I hope to have it ready for next summer's contest season, but I won't rush it either. 7
BlrwestSiR Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 There's so much room on your workbench. I didn't have anywhere that kind of space working on mine. Can't believe how big the P-47 is in the background. Carl 4

I've now got another fuselage pair, decals, g-factor gear, brassin wheels, 15 model master barrels, and hopefully after hearing back from Harold his props coming. Ouch. Tony, welcome to the world of HK models. They’re beautifully done on the outside, but give you the absolute bare minimum of extra details. He good news is that the “bare canvas” rules apply, and you can make one show stopping model out of it with little work other than some AM and time. 4
TJTX Posted October 3, 2018 Author Posted October 3, 2018 Got my AMS props today. They're beautiful and Harold's service was excellent!! 2

Good show Sir. Cheers Martin I've actually had a few days off so I'm desperately trying to make progress but not rush either. I've been very happy so far with HK's fit. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Man, you're just burning through this kit. And doing a great job of it too. Carl 4
