Nice work Bill. Is that pain in your a$$ gone yet?
 
The pain has returned..... These flappy thingies are really a bit of a bother.
I had to file down the top edges of the etched pieces to fit inside the wing. Added a wall for the end of the flap compartment. I did add a piece for the cockpit to rest on.
I sailor on.
Can you believe I took these pictures with my new mobile phone, @ 2MP!

Neat work Bill.
 
very nicely done
 
Typhoon, oh yes, This is the Typhoon posting..... gotta keep them straight.
Been unable to do much of late. Healing is going slowly, and one thing after another.

So I am fitting the flaps now. I hope the rest goes a little quicker. Forgot the deadline is too soon.

And then I was silly enough to get etched flaps for the Spitty.... Doh

Agree with both above. And there's still just over two months left Bill.
 
Have been able to do a bit of work on this one, since my Spitty problem is waiting on parts now. Since the cast problem I have chopped the control surfaces from the kit and filled and filed on them. Am happy with the result. I plug along. The cockpit is my next part to tackle. It's proving a bit of a hassle to get it in the right spot to tack in place. I sailor on.
