Made a tailwheel out of 1.2 mm brass rod the original vacuform wheel and some strips of 1 mm plasticard squished into the rough shape of the yoke.

I have slapped a coat of paint on just waiting for decals to arrive and then varnish it.

Need to make some cannon barrels as well.

Nice. Quite the control surfaces on the tail feathers.

Blackburn kept making them bigger and bigger. It still handled like a waterlogged rowing boat.

Good progress this evening. It helps when the TV is so grim there is no distractions
