Well done, one and all!

:shock: Good grief- and that's 1:72? I'm gonna quit my 1:48 builds now! ;-)

I just remembered this thread- what's happened with the project? Any progress?

Due to a load of family commitments (my nonagenarian father's health is not good), I've been slow in progressing this one, but here's the next step- the fuselage has been assembled, and one of the wings has top and bottom halves connected. The lack of pins makes a lot of the joints very much a...

I've had the pleasure of sitting in the Me-262 B-1/a and Fw 190 A at the museum in Saxonwold, Johannesburg in the late 1980s, as well as a Spitfire, Fieseler Storch, Mustang, Vampire and Harvard as well as the Viscount and Shackleton owned by the SAAF Museum. I also managed to get flips in a...

Holy bejeezuz, that's tiny!

Happy birthday!

The spacers- next up, skinning it with plastic card top and bottom.

Hmmm- that's worth a shot! Thanks- I'll try it.

Well, after a break away, and a load of family visiting for my father's 90th, I've managed to get a few things done. The cockpit is RLM 66, and the fuselage is buttoned up. As I don't intend to worry about the engine, I blanked off a few bits, and I have assembled the wing halves. Next up...

I'm thinking of a Messerschmitt 109 T1 or T2- I'm away all of next week and will be thinking about which one in that time.

That's the reason I went with the possibility of a drop-tank- longer flight time.

Well, first steps. Since I have no plans to install the engine, I've glued the various cowling bits together, assembled the cockpit, and sawed the centre panel off. I will be completing the fuselage and bits next, then re-scaling the plan so I can begin making the rear horizontal control...
