Hi there,

Now we have the wirewooling effect. This is part of the ageing process on these bigger scales. I have decided to cut this build short. Normally i would paint on all the finishing details like Insignia etc, but as this is an all electric model and i dont have the worry of fuel getting on the plane... i have decided to use the decals provided with the kit, i will dull them a little to get the effect. This should save me a hell of a lot of time and im keen to get this finished and hit the SE5a project.

Cheers

Andy

I think after all this high quality work, I would be very nervous about flying this gal.

[Guest]

I know what you mean Ray, i have still never flown the P47 yet or even strted her up. I will get this one airborne and it will go up for sale.

Thanks Trey, im really eager to get this SE5a started. Need to rush this one along a little.

Andy...

[Guest]

Another modeller who always has one eye on his next job....lol

[Guest]

Well we progress further, Made a bit of a bad job with the decals but nevermind it adds to the weathering, well thats what i keep telling myself lol. A little touching up on the grey and stick the guns back in the top gunner and the fuz is done, Next the wings and then put all the gear in her ready to fly. Its been a long hard slog on this one.

Well worth every minute you have put in Andy, I have seen some big models in my time, but this tops it out. You should be proud.

[Guest]

Thank Ray, cant say ill be sad to see this one finished, im having dreams now of the next project and its even bigger than this one lol

Thanks again

Andy

[Guest]

Ever considered a remortgage and just go the whole hog and buy a hanger...lol

[Guest]

Id love that Ray, a whole Hanger, id fill it full of model builder, from large to small with loads od work benches, but i bet we would all sit about drinking coffee and then go home and start building. Would be a fun place to be.

Andy!

OH MY GOD! I am so sorry I haven't picked up on this thread - that is awesome!!! I can't wait to see this beauty finished and flying (and for under £200!!! - unbelievable)

Great work my friend!

Paul

[Guest]

Thanks Paul, the kit was under £200 but when you add batteries, motors, retracts, radio gear, servos, paint, fibreglass . hinges etc it adds up to around £1000. The things soon add up.

Thanks again

Andy

PS, take a look at the P47 build i did on here, think you will like it to.

[Guest]

Andy its looking worth every penny and then some ! I hope you plan to have a video of the first flight or at the least some pics
