Re: Jeff's 180 in the bush
I've often wondered about the merits of this kit. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

You're off to a wonderful start, Jeff! I especially like those decals!

Hi Jeff. Any more progress on the 180 bushplane? This is promising to be a beauty.
All the best.

I have done bit Greg. I too have fussed with the cockpit flooring with a bit of a gap on each side. But won't be long before the main pieces will be together.

I have found that the build should be quite quick after the interior but as I am doing the box scheme that will delay me a bit.
All the best.

Hope no one is giving up on me yet. Here is a mostly completed fuselage with a test fit of the "Bushmaster" tires Greg sent me from an AIRFIX Mossie. I think they look the part very nicely. The remaining sub assemblies lie around the cutting mat.
The fuselage will be overall cream color with a brown top. A red cheat line will separate the color colors. Wings and stabilizers will be bare Alclad Aluminuminnumanum.
