sorry guys for the long delay. I have a fair bit on the plate at the moment, building a house, and a 2 year old terror on the loos. Anyway, finally got a few hours to do some stuff. Have completed most of the repairs, and applied about half the deacls. i completed my scratch built tie downs and am pretty happy. I have a bit more of a problem than i had realized though. The damage the model sustained included sending the tailwheel off into oblivion, which i didnt see the other night. i have built a replacement, and its sort of okay, but i have decided to buy a replacement . A bit wasteful i know, but it was at least cheap ($9) but has to come fom the US which can take a while here in Oz. If it doesnt arrive on time I will have to use the gerry built one.
I showed my son my model collection. Maybe a mad thing to do, but he was pretty good with it. Knew that it was special to me, and not for playing with. i was impressed with his maturity to be honest..
Anyway, here are the progress shots i have been promising for so long. i apologize for the delay
