If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Marvellous, that is great, neat work. It has the look of a R/C build what with the exposed structure and all. Too much PE for me though - I've had enough when assembling the average cockpit enhancement set!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

To be honest the wings are a lot easier to build than their complex looks give.

How's it coming along, splash? Reckon you'll be able to get it done in the next week? It's looking stunning so far.

Sorry work and home life has got in the way, plus a total loss of mojo has stopped all progress.

I might get a chance for some bench time on Wednesday but apart from that this will have to be a DNF

Sorry.

That's a real shame but life does have a habit of doing that. Hope you find the time and mojo soon to finish it up in the near future and I'm sure everyone else would be just as keen as me to see the finished product :grin:
