ISSUE No.100-The Cowling and bush.
Well the cowling has finally arrived to complete the front end of the model,one bush and not two has been supplied,this fits inside the front cowl opening and supports the heavy rotary engine,just make sure that the cowling has been well araldited onto the front former,with the propeller I would like to have seen a lot longer main shaft,this area looks vulnerable to getting knocked off.
The whole model weighs a ton so make sure that when you lift her up,do so from ther bottom of the fuselage,all of those struts need attaching securely.

Barry, The cowling in your picture seems very shiny compared with the one I received. Have you buffed it up some way ?

*** No Ted,not at all,I wonder if they made some from a different metal to meet the demand ?

That's a beautiful looking model.

Do you have any higher resolution images you could text me - I'd like to have a nose at the wing construction.

I'm thinking of possible project for my CNC milling machine I'm currently ordering....

Reserection of a long lost post!!!!
Update would be ..mmmmm....good?

wonwinglo

Well there is not much to update,as it has been said in the concise Scale-Models instructions that the manufacturers failed to deliver !
Make no mistake about it this model was a lemon and I for one never want to go through that fiasco ever again,in fact it put me off partworks for good.
Although the model looks ok it has had scores of modificationss to get there which have all been covered week by week here,think it best to keep the thread open until the end of 2007 then eventually close it for posterity,those that are hoarding the parts can then refer back when they do their own build.
