Precision flying there!

K&S Engineering Made in the USA Stainless Steel rod 1.59mm

Makes me think of a pilot's quote in days of old " There are no old bold pilots "

Cool concept Phil! Can you get the rod higher up in the canopy? I think it might look a little more realistic if you could.

Very cool idea for the presentation... Reminds me A LOT of this series of photos, from the JAWS test flights.

Looking forward to watching this unfold.

Cheers guys,

I could of Dave, but the rod is firmly set in CA glue inside the wing, plus it would sit taller than the space I have for it when it's finished.

Gloss coated then kit decals used with Future under and over, no problems at all with them.

Flatcoat next up then onto the final parts.

The base ready for ground cover,will do that in the next couple of days

Maybe add this and call it ''Not worth the shot! "

Looks like a contender for one of your best builds, Phil.

My second entry for the CTA II GB.

If anyone attempts this kit, pay close attention to the canopy section, this needs some thought as it is a touch to narrow at the top making it extremely hard to glue to the fuselage.
You could cut/sand away some plastic where the rear painted area of the canopy fits(if posed closed)as you would not see there.

All in all a nice kit to build.
