Don't get PUSHY with me !

Thanks Allan , so 32 scale is to small for you ? To be honest it is with me as well at times . 


No, it's too big !!  I am running out of display room and I mostly build in 1/72 scale...

Thanks Steve ! Weekend is among us so should have some more progress to report by the end of it . Well , that is the plan at least .

Can relate to that Allan , space is something not favored in my place . 48 is my main scale , but I do build a few 32 scale birds . 72 is to small for me now . With only two let in the stash those will be a duel build .

Thanks Rick 

Bit more progress was made but this weekend naps seem to be more important for selfcare .

Buckles for the landing gear are installed and I made the buckle assembly for the rudder and tail skid controls , those took me some time , far from perfect but they will do and i really don't want to spend a few more hours remaking them . Flipping eyes would be able to handle such torture . Slow getting there , but there is still a bit of small details to add , control lines , rest of the rigging and some pipping . then paint said details . So I do apologizes for this build taking so long and I'm grateful you gentlemen are still tagging along and giving support , means a lot to me .

5 1/48 turnbuckles in 1 small area x 2!! That's patience.

Will say that it does take patience and I'm using up what I have on this build . 

Weekend was spend wisely in front of the bench and the rest of the turnbuckles are fashioned up , control horns installed and painted , even the spring returns for the main flight controls . For the rudder since this is double wires a short pin was installed in the control horn and it it's a matter of slipping on the hoop over the pin . Sad part is I lost the the two control horns for the top wing and will have to make those , not a problem at all . There is still some details which need to made , like the pullies for the top wing and under the fuselage there should be two tear drop domes covering the pullies , these aren't represented in the kit , so how I will solves this is buy drilling holes and placing half pullies . This part will get done towards closer to the finish line . The end is very near for this one , next up date and I should have the tail control lines in place .
