I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Where can I get the guide with the information?

I love to see how everyones unique "eye" transfers to the model. Color choice, how much or how little detail to add, what kind of modifications to the kit, etc., all of those things come together in one awesome final product. This is one of the few hobbies left that caters to this kind of creativity and dedication. Beautiful plane by the way...

Thanks!

I built the fuselage per plan then doubled the stringers then doubled them again for a total of 4 times the number of stringers. Then I filled in the largest gaps with bits of scrap wood then applied filler as shown here. After the filler was dry and sanded I covered it with wet silkspan then primed and painted.

very nice, how do you fill the skeleton? do you cover it with 1mm balsa ??

Thank you all. I mailed in this picture to Guillow's last night for picture of the month. They posted the new pictures of the month today but I don't see mine in there so they must have got my picture too late to include it. But at least it made the part list page.

Beautiful! I love the Israeli camo, and you have done it so well. Nice build.

Congratulations on the paint job. Canopy must have been tricky...

Thank you both, getting on the details is slow going but worth it.

Great job.

I've been working on a plastic 1/48 scale that I'll share in a day or two. But it isn't nearly that good.

Wow! Steve, what a beautiful bird. That paint job is just perfect.

Decals and panel lines added.

Well, you're no help. That's the way I've been doing, but I figured there was a better way, and that you would know it. What a disappointment you are!:-) Just kidding. So you're going to use the clear decals. It ought to look just great. It's sure a nice covering and paint job you've done.
