Somehow after 2 years this video showed up on my feed. But very timely so here it is.

I showed that one to Karl when he was looking for details on the bomb carriers.

The contraprop is progressing. I have the basic fuselage together and starting to add all the fragile bits on. The kit does fit well but you are responsible for getting the parts in the correct position. What I mean is that there is not a lot of pins, slots and tabs like Tamiya or Airfix provide to lock parts in while gluing. Also I'm in the middle of cataract surgery and my near focus eye is still blurry. Lastly, I see it is 5 years since I joined here and what a great time it has been.

Hope the cataract works okay, I've had both done and the second one which was done last year seems to be developing a glaucoma. I'm on regular check next one next month so well see how we go. Congrats of the 5 year anniversary and agree, it's a good forum with a great bunch of good folk.
