Hi guys,
It's been quiet on the forum of late, apart from reports about Old Warden meetings, and I haven't updated the 'Building' thread for (gulp!) some months. I have, though, been busy behind the scenes, sending off not a few kits and following some promising leads on 'neo Jetex' and a possible Rapier type motor analogue. Progress on these (if any) will be posted in another thread.
Because of all this I have only just got back to building. Below is progress with a new profile Gripen:
This is much more of a 'profile' model than my previous effort (see earlier postings in this thread) and is tissue covered rather than paper covered balsa. This is lighter and easier to apply, but obviously not as opaque. Still, it will look aok from a distance.
The new Lansen too is tissue over balsa and fles splendidly.
I'll post pictures of the completed Gripen in due course. Meanwhile, if anyone wants the Gripen templates, or even a 'part kit' please let me know.
Is anybody out there in building anything?
