Bill_S Posted May 20, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted June 2, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted June 4, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
