| Barnstormer | 06-Mar-08 21:08 | | Hey Congratulations poppy, Picture of the month on Guillows web site. http://www.balsamodels.com/photos.htm |
| supercub | 08-Mar-08 11:50 | | Wow, Ican see why it's the model of the month! VERY nice build! |
| scigs30 | 08-Mar-08 12:14 | | What a nice looking bird. I want to build a flying version someday, too bad Guillows never came out with a smaller version. I think Dumas now has an 18 inch version I might have to build. Good job. |
| Ed Clark | 08-May-08 22:35 | | Poppy, since you have done so many planes using sheet balsa on both the wings and fuselage, is there one in particular that would be easiest for a first timer. I have the Dauntless but thought I might practice on something simpeler. Do you have a summary of the hows and whys or anything I could read to get a better understanding of the process. Thanks for the help and all of the great examples of your labors. |
| poppy | 09-May-08 01:05 | | Ed, check my hanger, P-38 file, has some pics and instructions on my Hellcat build( I had not changed my heading). Also instructions during Dauntless and Bf109 build. I would start with the Mustang since it has flatter sides and top and bottom don't have too severe curves. Once you get the hang of it, any plane that has metal skin will be good to model. I would caution that it takes a lot more time and patience to get a good finish than if you are covering with tissue or silkspan. |
| poppy | 09-May-08 01:17 | | E-mail me a dcouch001@tx.rr.com and I will be happy to give instructions on my techniques. |
