cdwheatley | 11-Nov-07 14:08 | Next task is to fit the upper wing - should be fun! |
Barnstormer | 11-Nov-07 14:36 | Flawless covering job, are you using the wet method with silkspan or is this the tissue supplied with the kit? |
John M Oshust | 11-Nov-07 14:46 | CD, super craftsmanship. Have you thought about the M Gun? What is the cost of 4 liters of petrol on the other side of the pond? |
cdwheatley | 12-Nov-07 13:33 | Hey thanks John. Do you mean the fuselage mounted Vickers? I realise it should be there, but as it's a tissue only finish I decided I wouldn't have been able to create a neat enough channel for my liking, so decided to omit it. As for the Lewis gun atop the upper wing, I have some ideas but will think more about it as the build progresses. A litre of petrol over here has just gone over the £1 mark for the first time. People are not happy, and there are rumours of more fuel blockades again, as there were in 2000. Barnstormer, thank you :-) This is neither silkspan nor the kit supplied tissue (which was white), but Japanese tissue I purchased separately from SAMS Models. |
Xanadu | 12-Nov-07 14:17 | Our petrol in Canada is at an average of around $1.15 per litre, making it around $5.11 per gallon. The US is around the $3 per gallon average. |
John M Oshust | 12-Nov-07 17:58 | Thanks CD for the info. A pound is what....abot $3. I hope you mount a gun on the upper wing. A superb topping for a beauty! |
