Don't get PUSHY with me !

[Alexis]

Thanks Stephen ,

Lot's of time , still a fair amount of stuff still left to do . Speaking of which I decided to spend some time on this one by continuing working on some of the smaller details .

The alex bar I replaced with rod , saves time on cleaning up the kit one I punched new disc , drilled them out and slide them in place . Much better now methinks .  Not sure what was going on with the prop and I should have taken a picture of it first , but I didn't . The back side need some filling in , I punched a few disc glued them in place filling the gaps with tamiya white putty . Once this is dried sanding will take a bit . Also punched disc for the prop bosses front and back and that as far as I got so far .

Good to see you back on this one again, Alexis.

This Roden kit is really pretty decent.

I first thought the 'alex' bar had something to do with your name, but then I figured out you meant axle.   
Nice fixes.

Godd progress Alexis. Certainly moving in the right direction.

Great progress, Alexis

I first thought the 'alex' bar had something to do with your name, but then I figured out you meant axle.   

I was a bit confused too!

Thank you so much guys , really means a lot to me 

Been rather busy of late and haven't had much of a chance to sit in front of the work bench . I do volunteer counselling on a support site so some of my spare time goes to helping others .

I did manage to get a bit of progress made , moving forward is always a positive . The start of replacing the prop boss is under way . I punched disc out of .15mm sheet for the front and back plates . Brass bolts are used the front and on the back side I will use plastic instead . The center still needs a few bits , but it is getting there . The landing gear is glued up as well waiting for further detailing .

I filled in the back side of the prop , but my shaping skills are to be desired so it will have to do . Not a thumbs up or thumbs down so I'm happy .

Alexis,
This is sure to be a great build once all these sub-assemblies join up.
I always enjoy your updates.

Alexis,

You have far more patience than me.  Can I borrow some?  Very nice cleanup and detail work.

What kind of excuse is that? We want models!  Just kidding, as someone who has spent much of the last year tackling his own issues I can't put into words how valuable kind-hearted folk such as yourself really are.

This is real progress Alexis: the spinner parts look good yto me and most observers will never get close enough to scrutinise it anyway. 
 
Really looking forward to seeing another real aeroplane being completed.

Stephen.
