Thank you. I've begun airbrushing Tamiya gloss white on the fuselage and tail group today. This is what I hope it looks like when done. I believe this is a full size "replica" shown at a recent Oshkosh show. |

| WhyNot, Comment for image # 23537 | 06 Sep 11 22:56 | | Thank you gentelmen. I'm thinking the fuselage could use a few more longerons but the plans don't call for it? |
| TJH, Comment for image # 23537 | 06 Sep 11 07:58 | | Nice looking plane! |

This is a short kit from Skylake Models of an Art Chester's Jeep. As there is no listing for this model in VA this is the closest category I could find. The build of this 16" rubber powered model is pretty straight forward, but the plans were missing some detail that could have made it easier. I began by building each side of the fuselage frame over the plan, one on top of each other for conformity. Here the sides are joined with cross bracing pieces in typical box construction fasion with bottom stringers added. |
