Been off the bench for a couple of days. Jssel's Heavy Industries was in dire need of "pick up-put aways."

Can I scan you a set, Brews?

The fuselage halves go together.
One winglet per side.
Big prop on top, little prop on the back.
Skies on the bottom.
Clear piece goes in front.

I think I would go with the PAH Tiger. Did it in 1/48th and it was nice and easy build. I'll send the instrutctions for the S later today. I have your email addie.

A Tiger's good.

As an aside, I have been working on the Airfix MBB Bo-105C...text and words soon.

Not really. The East Campus (which was the original site) is were all the Grumman Cats were. It is now the restoration hanger. While it is empty, the contest was held in there. The only Cat out right now is the Tomcat in the bright VF84 colors. I did see a S3 Viking partially tarped in the near distance. That will get me back there again.

I got a second place for my Airfix Mig15 (late edition). First place went to the same kit.

Next weekend will find me at the EAA AirVenture museum for a contest there. Friday nite is open cockpit night for the contest people. Supposed to have a P51 and the B17 open.

Your scan is about ready to send, Bruce. I want to check the sizing.

[jssel]

Two emails sent to you Bruce.

A quick scan today shows three completions and many more very close to being completed. Very impressive and we still have three weeks to go. No pressure guys. Hoping that everyone is learning a little bit about rotory-wing flight.

I was just checking all the progress reports for the day. Wow! Everyone has been very busy. The fun continues at a rapid rate with all looking very sharp.

Well done everyone.

My apologies for being a little absent recently. My older brother just moved across country to be near family. He has Parkinson's. I have been assisting him settle in. It hasn't been all work and no play however, has I have sat in the cockpt of a DH Mosquito recently. See Aviation Hanger.

I am back at it now.

Great work going on here and tonight I will start reviewing threads and pulling the masking off my H-21.

It’s good to see you back, I hope your brother settled in OK.

Sitting in a Mosquito, now that’s not something you get to do every day, you lucky sod.

No pressure. We have 9 completions with 10 days to go. Press on gang.

[Jagewa]

Wow guys, I have been slack not checking out this GB, and just thought I'd have a browse of the completed gallery, and WOW what a great collection of really fun looking builds, most impressive. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Bravo all of you guys!

Cheers
Jim

We are turning on final approach for this group build with only a week to go. We have several very close to completion so lets cheer them on.

[jssel]

This marks the final day of the WhirlyBirds GB. There are a couple so close you can smell the JP4. I'll be compiling stats today for a report Tuesday. If there is anyone who is so close that a little extra time would benefit? Please PM me.

if that last post was aimed at me Jssel, don't worry. I've only myself to blame for not getting cracking earlier, and the deadline has already been extended once. I'll try to do as much as is reasonably possible but if I don't finish I don't finish!
