Aw Heck Andrew, that really is a bit nice. The more I see of these things the more I know I need one, even though I can't afford it & haven't got the room. :lol: Finished in HX912 colours, my late uncles last plane with 464.

Thanks Logan TLR. You will enjoy the build but be wary of the U/c as they can become tricky and break easily.

Andrew :cop:

Hi

Haven't they come out with replacements yet? I could have sworn I saw metal ones ....

Also toying with those barrels.

Cheers

Thanks Plano Guy and Petar,

I built this for a friend who I have advised to put a mirror underneath to see the detail. Most of those panels come off which would make using a mirror advisable. In relation to the engine piping they all come with the kit.

Regards

That is a big kit Andrew, throw some servo's, radio reciever and 2 motors in there and fly it around . Real nice job on the details. only thing I can critique as this looks factory new is darken up the panel lines. just be carful when you move it from room to room, you might damage a wall or woodwork with a wingtip!

Wow Andrew, thats very very nice mate!!

I was following this at AMI, glad to see her finished up.

Love that silver dope scheme, I hope my 75 sqn RNZAF one comes out half as nice! When I get back to my own ones after finishing off some projects for other people I would like to get cracking on my 24th Mossie again, oh and the BK-117 and A-4K......

Great work mate, always a pleasure to see your models.

Cheers

Anthony
