That's about right, sitting on a gas can having a smoke. These are nice but doesn't fit my vision of this scene.

Now that would be another level. I'm with you, thought that was real when it first scrolled across.

I'd say you nailed it! :soldier

Found the radio for the Piper! Still haven't found the red cap for the airbrush lube. :bm:

Oddly enough it doesn't bother me in the least bit because I don't want to do that work. I didn't even bother doing the roof. Too much overhead work.

I don't know what's more amazing, the RC aircraft of 1968 or that dudes pompadour defying gravity :rotf

Oh it only gets worse from there Paddy, the movie Fighter Squadron with Robert Stack and scores of other hollywood tough men. P51D stood in for Luftwaffe aircraft. Still worth the watch to see war veteran P47s in color.

Thanks Mike, good job.

I remember that aircraft being used as a stand in for something else in a movie... :bm:Blue Max maybe?

I think so, I don't like the idea of drilling into the dry wall for anchors. No drywall professionals were used in the installation of drywall. @errains :dude: My old computer shop sigh it's pretty solid so it will work on the higher stuff.

What are you using to transfer? I've found rounded rasp works well. Short answer from me is no, I've had the same issues from time to time.

That looks old! De Havilland had a look to them, much like North American Aviation. I think it's in the tail feathers.

I do get lucky some times. Totally didn't plan this but this rack fits right smartly.

It's a wonder I have any scrap wood to build this the way I cut. Measure 3 times cut4. Top is still dry fitted but I have some l brackets and will secure it from the bottom. Btw, that's a level bubble!

:smack: :bm:Dude, seriously?

Now that would be interesting! :popcorn

Paddy that's what attracted the Comet to me when I saw the box art. I really thought it was post war design. I was shocked to learn it was such an early design. I mean look at all the designs it was racing against, DC2...Not a DC3, but the DC2. The only thing that looked close to a race aircraft...

Yes I see the big bow, that means I can't cut a straight line. But i'll have it trued up before I get it mounted.

Absolutely lovely aircraft! Thanks again Paddy and Saul.

Wood has been cut but not much progress, I got volunteered to help out of neighbor clean out a garage. Ya'll would :smack: if you saw the stuff I'm throwing out. The guy has collected over the years, nothing really valuable but man, I have to turn a blind eye and just chunk it because I don't...
