Thanks Chris, hope it passes landing gear test. :zen
I said earlier in the build that I was worried about the clear part. Worry no more. Just needed to be cleaned. That's the typewriter under the glass. I'll make it a lighter color and pick out some detail so it'll pop a little better.

On these short run kits, one of the most aggravating part of the assembly is installing the landing gear .
This one is so well done though that hopefully it will be no problem .

Have to say closed to preserve the lines, but I may be biased because that's how the FROG kit was...

Bob, I got to tell you. I've never cared much for models presented in flight but I think this one would look very good with the canopy closed and the gear in the wells.
Of course, you might need to get Chris to fashion you a scale Mignon to sit behind the controls

Thanks Mike, glad you're back.
Got seams filled in, need a little more polishing and restore some panel lines on the bottom. Had some big gaps there but still need to establish like on the wing root.
Looks like some work is needed on the forward wing flaring also. That was a tricky spot because that's where the pour slab was. Looks like I shaved off too much.

I always think aircraft with no dihedral look odd but thats how they were
I'm thinking that would make it rather unstable in flight . :hmmm

Isn't there some sort of theory about unstable flight being very high performance or something? theories escape me sometimes.

So they say...supposedly makes it easier to roll and pitch , exct. Great if you have three computers ( as in the f-16 ) to convince the pilot he's actually flying the thing.
It the days of stick and rudder pilots it probably mean that it needed constant management.
High wing aircraft on the other hand are very stable .

Nice work so far. This is a really sleek aircraft. The Howard Hughes racer would look good next to it. Gary
Oh MAN! How many times have I looked at this.

Hughes XF-11
But I know you're talking about the Hughes H1.
I've never tried one of the Anigrand kits, maybe with my confidence up with resin I may tackle one.
