| If it wasn't for the roof of the carthis could be taking off. This must be about 3 feet in span, those canopies are excellent. Another outstanding build. |

| Allow me to join the others in marveling at your work....great stuff. What/how did you do the wheels??? |
| deckape | 09-Apr-11 13:25 |
| I made the tyres from cardboard disc 18 of them to each tyre. I soaked the cardboard disc into a soloution of nitraite dope. took the wheels out and let dry over night, chucked them up to my lathe useing the center holes of the tyres I turned them with the cutting tool to bevel out the tyres I added tread to them as well the photo dont justify this but they are there. the landing gear oleo and retracting struts are turned from brass rod. I thank you evewryuone for your reply I an honered. Boats |

| Thank you Ted, like my late father said at one time if you find them make them. useing card board disc is a early method of makeing scale tyres for your aircraft ot you can turn hardwood dowling as well so save those broom sticks they come in handy.A special thank you for the kits Ted I most greatfull. to be very very yones these are the first kits i got in 37 years i am beside myself over joyed with happyness, i.ll be posting some build threads on her on this here forum.

| Haven't been here in a while, working 6 days a week, guess that's good. Some amazing builds you produced Boats. Just went back about a week and a half and said to myself "gotta get here more often". Beautiful stuff going on by all you guys here. Keep it up, it is great to see. |
