Trojan Thunder Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nice to see this one progressing Steve. Are you using plastic strip for the reinforcing stiffeners? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Steve, It's really coming together quite nicely now. The overall picture on the stand at an angle really makes quite a statement. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nice to see this one progressing Steve. :thumbsup:/> Are you using plastic strip for the reinforcing stiffeners? Yes, I'm using Evergreen styrene strips .010x.030. These are a perfect fit to sit in between the raised panel lines on the kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks, I have some strip but not that size, trip to LHS in order :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) After discovering that I had installed the engines incorrectly on this model, it was relegated to the Shelf of Doom. Â My resolution for 2019 is to finish this WeatherBird. I have too much time invested in it just to let it sit. Â So, today, I took it off the shelf and I am reworking the engine nacelles....pics coming soon! Edited December 30, 2018 by SteveV22FE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
