Image Comments John M Oshust 30-Aug-08 16:15 While the first coat of paint dires on Night Club's "Can of Peas" I opened the next build. #8 in my collection. From my largest, to the smallest. Only a 24 in span. JohnG. 30-Aug-08 18:04 Suspect you'll whip this one out in no time. How many hours do you have in Big Bird??? John M Oshust 30-Aug-08 19:08 JG...259 hrs in the Corsair to date. I figure another 15 hrs to final finish. Cheap though, only $128 in supplies, but the minilumber yard is MT! Looks like the "Z" will take a 1/12 scale Williams radial. This engine, better wheels and the kit has the price tag already almost at $100. wingspanner 30-Aug-08 19:19 Whats your first impressions of the kit John? John M Oshust 30-Aug-08 21:07 Tony...Laser cut a plus, especially because she is small. Balsa is like the grade I purchase. Directions brief. Plans are excellent. Plastic good. I only intend to use the wheel pants. I will scratch a cowl that reveals an engine. Decals superb. Colored tissue, I will sheet the fuse and wings, but the tissue is high quality. RodN 31-Aug-08 06:18 These Dumas kits are great. Really nice kits to build, I hope you enjoy as much as I have. elevatoranj 31-Aug-08 19:57 I found these kits had directions that missed small details that you PROs might not even notice. I built the Waco Glider and they did not make it clear that the wing mounts should have been "packed out" with solid wood to give a place to glue on the wings. try to glue wings to tissue some time and u will see what i mean. also they missed the part where a rookie builder should be told to put the windows in, I ended up installing sheet plastic windows after the 'fuse' was tissued so i tore a hole in each side to mount 'glass', many other glitches in directions, but the build was soo long ago that I forgot them all. I still remember calling the kit a "Dumb Ass" elevatoranj 31-Aug-08 20:26 Also my new wife Novice Builder, Yeah I could not wait, we are hitched, says she has a problem, with her Beaver... Dehavilland Beaver that is. so I said we can take care of it later!! I must get my camera out of the truck to post photo of a work in 'pause mode' But only for a year or so.
