Is that a model of the plane Chucski Yeagoriliyiv broke the sound barrier with?

Ralph Haus · Apr 25, 2022

Smooth. Something 'tidy' about a non-pattern camo scheme.

Excellent Geo and kudos for perfect pics. Others should take note.....

Thanks guys and thank you Andy. I hate the lead photo, it looks like I have whacking great gaps at the wing roots. Not sure why its like that

Vic Balshaw · Apr 26, 2022

That is a real beauty Geo.

That's why additional pics are always helpful to us judges. I feel we should require (not just allow) each entrant to submit at least 4 close-in shots in addition to the mandatory 6.

Great work George That's a great looking Cobra.

Airframes · Apr 26, 2022

Very nicely done Geo.
I agree with Andy, we should make it mandatory for the close-up shots.

I kind of 'totally' agree with adding shots. But of what? Known particular kit fit/finish challanges to demonstrate competence ? Underside images are always helpful in at least showing that side of the build. Some very nice detail and hard work are under there!

Let's take this away from Geo's build thread as it's OT. Will discuss with the other judges.

Good idea. Geo has enough to read already. Probably would warrent a separate thread and allow member input.
