I was in Marin County at the Renaisance Faire one year, long ago, and the replica flew right overhead. Sounded like it was using Rotax engines. You sure picked a good one this time.

Gonna do all the rigging too Boats? Not as much as your HMS Victory so should be a piece of cake!

Go to G.B.#16, and look at a heading format that any one of us have done. That should be good.

I can move the thread to the GB section if you decide to enter. All you need to do is to edit your first post here and attach all info required for a GB project. Please have a look at a few threads in the GB section in order to get how a such header looks like. I'll edit the title of the thread then. And that will be all.

Ahoy

The Build has begun


Okay fellas as you can see is the beginni9ng of the build starting with the Fuselage is very straight forward as most card kits are asseembled even like that in plastics.. there are 5 formers and 5 skind complete the basic fuselage structure, the co0ckpit it very sparse only 5 parts it needs attention to detail I will add them on the next update the kit gives you enough that there is something there but not much in the modlers point of viewe.. It feels good to build a Polish designed card kit the Neptune by cfm is strickly on the cobb I wont build anymore of their kits.. I been doing a little research on the web about this aircraft being all yellow in color with no markings from what I have gathered its is some type of record flight airctrafdt like that of Charles Lindberghs spirit of st. louis, but never acheived the success as lucky lindy. Here is the update for now I will post another update today thank you fellas for letting me in on the group build...
