| That's not a Guillow's prop is it? Why switch? Great build - the lines are so crisp and the finish is so smooth. |

| Ah yes, very nice canopy. Shades of the 500 Stuka....very tedious. |

| She's a beauty. Very nice. It almost seems a pity to risk such a masterpiece in flying, but I'm sure you'll suceed. How did you get the canopy so precise? It's a real work of art! |

| Nicely done. 24 grams is pretty good for a stock build. Is all the balsa from the kit? I like how neat your removable nose block is. |

A couple of musts for a Guillows kit to fly. Have to make a nose plug so you can add weight and thrust as needed. Also increased the dihedral. |

I am all done with this build. Final weight is at 24 grams. She has a nice glide but I cannot fly until the rain passes. I did not have much luck with the Guillows decals so I made my own. |

| Looks great, scigs. I ordered some Esaki tissue, a selection of domestic tissue, some butyrate dope, some nitrate dope and dope thinners. The credit card doesn't thank me, but I'm looking forwards to trying it all out! |

| Looks good, very neatly done. I love the look of that tight shiny blue tissue. What I sometimes do is cover the pastic cowl with the same color tissue as the fuselage. |

The Dark Blue tissue came out nice with two coats of clear dope. |

In the process of masking the canopy so I can finish this bird. Not a very good match of paint on the cowling, oh well. |

Underside Domestic light blue. Still hav to add landing gear. |

| I think so, I buy my tissue from Easybuilt models. |

| This domestic tissue is basically what they use to wrap up gifts, right? This looks great! |

Tail surfaces have been shrunk, now I will apply 2 coats of Aerogloss dope. Added washout in the wing for a stable flight. |

I am using Domestic dark and light blue. The fuselage is comming along, have to finish the fuselage and shrink the tissue. The tissue is applied with 50/50 Elmers and water, then when all done I will shrink with water. |

| Looks great. Good idea to increase the dihedral. I couldn't get my Avenger flying properly until I did this. |
