MaRiO FDZ Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi Fellas This is my second Gremlin Kit I build, last one I built was a PA-42-1000 Cheyenne 400, this on'es a Cheyenne III, which is the popular T tailed version. One particular thing about this bird is that Lufthansa bought a few and used them for Flight Training, so this one in particular will be left as such. Anyways, it is a Tail Heavy kit, so I had to cut the tail cone and drill and carve my way to the cabin, to make it a nose-sitter. I cut the door also, since I'm going to do some scratch building on this baby. Flaps, Ailerons and Trim tabs are all scratch built. Landing gear will be done also, as per the last one I built Anyways, enough words. Here goes... Elevator cut and trim tab repositioned to a parked position. Styrene to do the details. Interiors painted. I can not sand the whole fuselage level or I would ruin the wing seam, so I will leave this ugly step. However, little will be visible from the door, so I'm not too worried about it. Also, I'll use some rug texture for the "carpet" which should hide this nicely. Thanks Take Care Quote Link to post Share on other sites
