Nope, not the same picture as in my He-51 build. Ready for rigging holes to be drilled.

Not yet, still haven't been able to pry it away from her. Our daughter is bringing a suprise Snoopy for the roof tomorrow. I'll get it to take pictures of her and her new snoopy, and then when she is distracted, I'll make off with it.

Looks like you got a lot of hols to drill Paul, hope you can find your pin vice in that lot.
Should know exactly where it is...unless he has done some cleanup recently?

Gave up on that silly thing a long time ago, just use my fingers now.
My wife has been using my office as storage for X-mas presents, can't get to the desk!

I have the same problem. Anything she doesn't have a place for ends up in my modeling area. I can't get to my bench either.

Paul, I read in Wayne's thread that you lost the windscreen. I had a look at my R3C-2 and you're better off without it. It's so small and so thick that it looks absolutely fake. Make a new one out of clear sheet plactic, all the panels are flat so it shouldn't be too hard and will look much more realistic. A source I use for small pieces like that is the backing that you peal off of medicated patches if you have access to some. I used it recently for the reflector glass on my P-47 razorback's gunsight and it worked great.

I know it was thick and ugly, (kind of like when I look in the mirror), I was going to replace it using it as a pattern. It's more the annoyance factor than anything else.
Start on the new one...then it will magically appear..!

I'll start us out, I lost something in a backseat when I was about 15 years old. Ray-Ban Aviators. Best pair of sunglasses I ever had.
