Thanks Vic.......... I am rather chuffed with how it turned out.
Thanks guys for your comments and looking in.

The wheels. One side of the dub is molded in, the left wheel. The other side of the hub is a separate piece and is set too low. I didn't find out until I tried the gear legs and the tab wouldn't reach the hole. So I had to drill it out for a styrene rod, then drill the rod insert for the gear leg axle. I must say it worked!!!!!

Next the prop. It was broken in the box. Had a discussion with the seller that went awry. The prop should be a Ham Std, which is a different hub from the one in the kit. So I have taken one from my spares box and cut the blades off, the Blenheim has the opposite pitch on the blades. The drilled for a piece of wire and glued the kit blades on the HS hubs. I've got a couple of bits of square styrene stacked to space the blades for flat. I'll let it set up for the night.I can paint the wheels and legs and assemble to install.

Why oh why can't I build OOB??????????

You have been used to building harder. slower, more precise it would be unusualy if you finished a build within a 3 day period with everything in place, speed of light, no issues hehehe that is why you can't build OOB !

Looking great as usual very nice outcome on the props
