Re: I'll be along SHORTly ....
Good luck with this. I have a few Welsh in the stash. They seem to make excellent vacs and use a good robust plastic that helps with the assembly. Is that your experience?

Re: I'll be along SHORTly ....
This is my first Welsh vac, but so far I am quite impressed. A single score, snap, and out cleanly.
BTW, I have decided, after some thought, to go with painted windows. I may however "fill" them to match the fuselage sides.

The Return of the Sloth ...
Only the two wing under-halves and floats to cut out ... maybe then I'll get to some sanding.

Re: I'll be along SHORTly ....
I am on hold until about 7 May, then it will have my "full" attention.

Re: I'll be along SHORTly ....
Great choice of kit John. Of course, as it's a "Welsh" model, I'm duty bound to approve

Re: I'll be along SHORTly ....
I'm sorry, I am going to declare DNF now.
We are in the annual town budget cycle, and a couple other things, and I just cannot break loose.
Might make a nice summer project as it is ready to sand down the edges then assemble but it isn't going to happen now.

Pity but these things happen. I hope to follow a build of it when you get more time.

Re: I'll be along SHORTly .... ** DNF **
Do not get excited, I am still a DNF ....
but I did get the odd couple hours in the "summer" air and did some sanding and assembling ...
The fuselage was two sides and 3 bulkheads (visible though the sidewalls), easy enough.
I started on the tailplane and rudder but didn't get very far, so I'll be looking for the next window of opportunity ....

Re: I'll be along SHORTly .... ** DNF **
Darn ! I just realized I didn't modify the fuselage for an in-flight stand, now I'll have to do that. I like a tube inside to take an acrylic rod, but maybe I'll do a simple slot. The good news is the vac-form model doesn't weigh much compared to styrene ...
