Bill_S Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 My entry for the Group Build. I never build armor... The kit was started by its previous owner, but I'm confident it's less than 25%. 9
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 20, 2019 Administrators Posted May 20, 2019 Just the kind of GB we want: a bunch of halfwit airplane guys building armor. this GB is going to look like a room full of Chimpanzees on typewriters... I LOVE IT!! 9

GazzaS Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I have this same kit sitting in a box in my old bedroom on another continent. Looking forward to seeing YOURS go together. Gaz 4
Jackster Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 An iconic piece of Kit Bill, great choice! Cheers Kev 4
DocRob Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Nice, I had that kit when I was a kid (kind of old kid, of maybe twelve years). Great to see this one participating. Cheers Rob 4

Bill_S Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 Landing gear assembled; got the sink holes filled, but some more minor filling to do. Some sub-assembly work done... I don't know how much of this will be visible, but I had to fill ejector pin marks and voids... The wing has had its EPMs filled and sanded. A coat of paint already, too. 8
BlrwestSiR Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Nice progress there Bill. I think there may be an issue with the airfoil profile of the wing though. Did the 88 have a Davis wing or a laminar flow one? Carl 7
