Geoffrey PythonThanks! I hope you're patient cause this kit's gonna be a tough nut to crack... I'll probably start it at the end of next week.

Robert PodkońskiFollowing of course!!! Number one on my private list of most awesome planes ever (and I got one in my stash waiting for her time... 😉 ) BTW, in the May 2006 issue of Model Aircraft Monthly there was a short build report... I think it is quite instructive)

Geoffrey PythonThanks! This plane is my number 1! I doubt we'll ever build something sexier.
From what I've seen in the reviews, a lot of time will be spent sanding down the seams. And I might buy some aftermarket wheels, the one from the model aren't the best...

B. M.That's a lot of…well…everything ?
Good luck with it and I'm following of course too

Mart01planesGood luck on this... I have one in the stash so it would be good to see how you progress. Your right she is a looker that's for sure.

Geoffrey PythonI just ordered aftermarket wheels, the ones from the kit are just awful, I am still debating whether I should order aftermarket landing gears but currently my bank account is convincing me not to...I'll try with the kit's ones...I'll decide afterwards

Robert PodkońskiThese white metal legs tend to bend under weight sometimes, as far as I know, Geoffrey. IMHO it would be wise to drill through the plastic ones and insert a piece of stiff wire...but it is a nerve-shaking procedure... 😉

Geoffrey PythonThanks for the advice! I'll take a look at them during the weekend to see if that's doable so that I won't loose too much time if it isn't.
