As I heard it at FF, the Zero is next, then the P-38... then?

They have also upped the scale a tad for the Mustang from what I held at FF
(Thought really hard about just making a break with it at this point, but he was holding my phone!)
You can see details here;

@kilroy07 - ask and ye shall receive! (working on a spinner to suit at the moment)!

 

[bracesport]

Um - small update! (need to tidy up the paintwork at the rear - this silver is unforgiving!

thinking, thinking, with building two - one stock and one not, I can add flaps to the second wing (luckily still a flat pack)!

 

[bracesport]

@kilroy07 - would you not just make regular sailplane flaps with the inner section of the TE?

 

[FoamyDM]

@bracesport - It looks as if you a have a soaring site off your balcony.

Awesome!!! Thanks!

@kilroy07 - would you not just make regular sailplane flaps with the inner section of the TE?

Umm... 'cause the Spit had split flaps I guess...

@bracesport - It looks as if you a have a soaring site off your balcony.

Yea, what's up with that?.... I thought you were in the middle of "winter" there... that doesn't look like winter in Illinois!!!

Now that is looking really sharp!! You planning on using the Kiwi roundels? (Don't have to, but would be pretty cool!)

 

[bracesport]

@FoamyDM - yes, we are 100.05m above sea level, but sadly there are houses just below (maybe when I am proficient)!

@kilroy07 - um, yes, we can't complain about the winters here (other than all the wind and rain), but yes this morning was nice (shame it's a workday)!

@kilroy07 - yes I am planning to go with all the stickers you made!

I might tackle the canopy over the next couple of days if you want.

 

[bracesport]

@kilroy07 - I guess you mean an authentic canopy!
