You'd know if anyone would Andy. It's a bit too flat around here for skiing though unless you go for a 6 hour ride.

We've actually not had that much this year. Early on yes, but it's been pretty warm and dry of late.

Looking good Glenn!

 

[Wurger]

Not too bad at all.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That's really looking the biz Glenn !

Weathering looks great! Good job!

Had a setback last night. I had made up the exhaust pipe/shroud assemblies, drilling out the pipes and reshaped them to look better, painted and weathering them, then went to put them on and I dropped one on the floor. It bounced who knows where. I spent over an hour looking for it with out luck. The thing's about the size of an air rifle pellet. I'm hopping I have a extra from a Hobbycraft P-40C I made a few years ago.

 

[Catch22]

That's too bad Glenn, hopefully you have an extra one.

 

[Airframes]

Hope you can find or replace it Glenn. It's a b*gg*r when that happens!

 

[Crimea_River]

Shite!

 

[T Bolt]

Found the spare in my junk box and am in the process of painting it now. First picture shows the one I didn't loose along with the spare I'm working on. Second picture shows some paint chipping I did yesterday.

Edit: 2/21/19 I found that missing part and it only took me 7 years

 

[vikingBerserker]

Ouch!

Beautiful job so far though!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Glad you had something in the spares box you could use Glenn. I came across a simple idea of trying to find lost bits the other day. Using the vacuum with hose only attached, fix one of your wife's or girlfriends old stockings over the end fastened by rubber bands, tape or whatever comes to hand and go hunting with the vacuum on. Any lost bits along with other junk you would not believe is hidden in the carpet pile just gets stuck on the nozzle end of the hose. Hay presto, hopefully one lost bit found.

 

[Wayne Little]

The good old carpet monster strikes again..... good work on the new and the old Glenn!

 

[Airframes]

That's looking great Glenn.
And Vic, what a cracking idea !

 

[Crimea_River]

With Terry.
