| This was even in the german news today. |

The bottom is still to be done so it still looks a bit rough. |

The nose job was completed without any blood spilled. |

| That's why I leave the flying to you guys. |

| Not so much good eyes as suspicion that scale was sacrificed for flying needs. The nose cone of a real Sabre does not rotate about a central axis so it does not have to be symmetrical. |

Steve's got great eyes! I traced the outline of the radome from the plan for comparison. |

| How scale do you think this nose block is? |

Plastic prop is included |

| This is from a Guillows kit. The only plastic in a Diels kit is the canopy and everything else is made from balsa, even the wheels. I'll post a pic of how the plans show to make the spinner with a prop but it's certainly not how I'll do it since mine won't have one. It would be much easier to get one from Guillows or a regular spinner from a shop. This one isn't quite correct so I'll carve one from a block of balsa. |

| That's a little disappointing because Diels' web site even says "the radome nose makes it a natural for rubber flying". |

The spinner is NOT part of the kit. |

| Aha! Thanks, James. |

| In the book, they originally went to Saturn. They changed it to Jupiter for the film, I think that was easier for the effects department. |

| Bravo! I realized after I posted this that the quote really pertains to Jupiter. "Open the pod bay door, HAL!" ;-) |
