So with Wilsonman's blessing I'm going to enter my winter build into the build contest. Full disclosure... I already have it in another build contest and started on the model in early January. When I found out there was a build contest going on here as well I thought this forum may have more interest in it. It is a BIG foamy built from a short kit.
The short kit, including plans and vacuum formed parts, is available at http://parkflyerplastics.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24_26&products_id=529
I also picked up a set of CNC cut formers and ribs from kenscadmodels.com
Since I've already started I'll just do a dump in the first few posts of the progress to this point.
To start the build an assembly rig is put together from electrical conduit. This holds everything in alignment and make assembly a LOT easier.
Formers are aligned and wing skins applied. Cap strips are applied and rough shaped and the cutouts aft of the cockpit are cut in.
