Thanks Dirk, appreciated! Don't know if I should some more, although small, today or leave it until tomorrow....

Looks awesome Jan. What did you use on the end of the electrical connections (those little white bits)? Is that plastic rod sanded down?

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers mate! That's just 0.3 led wire painted black with a drop of white in the end. Think that I'll use copper or something next time, less chance of breaking them off!

Did a tad more today.....

Good stuff old chap. I say, this one coming together rather quickly what.

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks Igor, appreciated! Yeah, seem to get together rather fast this one, compared to others in my pile!

Jan

See, you can get a kit almost finished!
Looking rather nice old boy, and I'll take your word for it that the RP's are now green. I like the pigtails BTW.
Note that RP-equipped Tyohoons normally (but not always) had the landing lamps faired over, to prevent scorching of the Perspex covers, so worth checking reference pics of your bird. (and your's Dirk).
If you can old boy, paint the barrels of the retraction struts on the inner gear doors black, as well as the same on the small struts on the gear legs, against the gear well roof. The struts themselves were chromed.

sweet build Jan

Any real problems with the kit, or straight forward

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks Ellis, appreciated! I'd have to say that kit is straight forward to build, had no problems at all.
