That's looking really good Bob!

I am glad you are enjoying your builds Paddy and I enjoy watching for your updates. Currently I am working on the engine and drivetrain of my 251. I have some good photos of basically unrestored engines etc. and then the same engine restored. It is very helpful, but rather intimidating to get...

I was thinking that as well, but don't really see any way to do it properly. After reading Paddy's problems with these kits and how expensive and exclusive they are, I wouldn't even look into them. I would rather scratch build something new.

looking really good Mike. Shows you are assembling with care and forethought.

I figured as much Paddy. With the material that soft, I would be hard pressed to pass out the $$ for it. I am pretty picky anymore about even buying aftermarket landing gear after the experience with the G-Factor gear I got for the 1/32nd Ju88 kit. Turns out I was able to rebuild the kit...

Glad to hear it was only a timing thing that they were able to fix. If everything else is good otherwise, that is at least a positive thing. I know my heart rate drops to about 60 when I am at full rest in bed, maybe a touch lower, otherwise it is up about the 70-80 mark. I really should go...

Always liked this plane. Built a Guillows flying model back in high school. Have no idea what happened to it.

Paddy it also looks like the sway bar for the suspension acquired a bend on one side. The left side of the vehicle. (would be on the drivers side here in the US)

Glad to see you here Los! All are welcome and we enjoy visiting, sharing, and helping each other with our builds. Looking forward to seeing what you have been working on.

Back in the day (1976-1977ish) when Monogram came out with the (huge at the time) B-24J in 1/48th scale I got a decal sheet that had this wolf's head and built it up with it. I believe the decal sheet was Micro Scale and probably have the leftovers still to this day (someplace).

Same boat Saúl, though (so far knock on wood) I am running a bit on the plus side of finances. Really need to weed down a bit on crap though before I start prepping to move back to Oklahoma.

That Ian!

I have loved the Lysanders ever since I saw one of my mom's old high school text books from WWII. So far so good Alex! Good to see you posting again.

They went away a couple of years ago. This is a completely new setup. From what I understand the original owners sold out and the new ownership never upgraded any equipment or anything and ran it into bankruptcy. I will have to call my buddy in N Carolina and get an update as he is involved...
