Thanks, Tom! :laugh:

On the the occasion of the Romanian National Holiday I introduce a new friend, and some somewhat neurotic detailing. Lecotenent Margo with explain everything!

Great stuff Chuk!!!

Do I understand correctly, you annealed a wound guitar string?

Always wondered if that would work.

Staying tuned...(whoops...bad pun)

Hmmm... going to have to grab some guitar wire next time my son changes his strings. Another great tip Chuck. :geek

Herr Chukw, Ich muB sagen Ihrer Lili gefehlt mir Sehr! Ein schoener Flugzeug auch!
Ausgetzeichnet!

Thanks, everyone! Obviously I just can't leave well enough alone! I've gotten warnings of a few shortfalls in the kit, and on the Romanian boards there are hot debates over things like the profile of the fuselage spine and the particulars of the wheel wells. The latter amusingly translate as "the bathroom"- maybe they're called tubs, locally. :laugh: Next up for me is the floor and seat- lots to be done there- and I may well remake the entire instrument panel. A modeler's work is never done!

Thanks, friends! I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, but I've got to get some bench time in- stay tuned!

I present my last post for 2013- hooray! I've really gotten absorbed into the details of the cockpit- such a challenge not only to build, but to learn about all the various sub-systems and widgets. You'll also note that I've replace my "artistic' chicken-scratch with actual typography- I hope it suits you.

The lovely Marina will be your guide- cheers- and a happy New Year to one and all!

 

[ij001]

Chuk, :coolio just a quiet word if I may....

....Erm, is Marina seeing anyone at the moment

Ian

ps
Superb model engineering - but let me know about Marina, OK

 

[sharkman]

Marina = WOW! :woohoo:

the detail work = WOW! :woohoo:

Man, you must have good eyes or at least I hope you use some sort of magnifier!

Going to add a little map to that map pocket? it would be a nice addition! :hmmm
