Good grief Ian.
I've got some choice Anglo Saxon phrases if you're ever stuck for expletives  ;)

Please don't drop it again it's looking sooooo nice

This engine is a dream!
Why not sell the files for printing at home?
For my Etrich built some 30 years ago i used one row of cylinders from an Aeroclub RR Eagle.  :)

Since I finally got the SE5a finished, I can get back to others, including this one!

The fuselage underside is now done, and I printed a new nose which has been glued on and (hopefully) blended in.







I think that should work! Paint will be the proof of that, so that will be next.

Thanks for looking in!

How much of the finished model is going to be Pegasus and how much IanB's conversion?

Excellent corrections.

I can imagine some poor soul seeing the finished model, seeing it's a Pegasus kit and buying the kit expecting it to come out like this one!

Excellent work, fingers crossed the new nose is nicely blended in.

Now that made me smile.... ;D I can see the Pegasus kits appearing on eBay at extortionate prices once Ian publishes his finished work.....
