Good start. I have built a few of these type of balsa aircraft, most crashed when trying to fly them, so I have none left. Are you going to make it a static model or flying one?

I have built plenty of these in my life time so I will be watching with interest as I might be tempted to join in.
Good start by the way

I'm going to try and make it fly, ( rubber band ) but it will more than likely end up just like yours crashed.

Shame I don't have any bench space, this looks like fun. Really taking shape now.

Its good that there are instructions too, so many times in my RC flying days, you'd open a kit box and find a pile of wood and a big plan! There were a few manufacturers who went the extra mile (mostly American ones) but many of them were old-school. I'm reminding myself of this as I start my Mirror Models Diamond Wrecker! That does look like a nice little kit, and I reckon it won't be your last, as they really are satisfying!

Looking good on this one Ian. Reading this seems to be very intricate in the construction.


Coming together though.


Regards

So, just like the plastic kits we're used to, you just cut the parts from the 'sprue', clean them up and stick them together? Is this really as simple as you make it look Ian?

Yes that's what I'm hoping to do Robert, but it will probably be the one and only time then it will more than likely just end up being a pile of splintered wood and paper.
