Hello Allan!

Haven't forgotten all that lovely plastic in the garage...it's just that paper is a new challenge and I can get some cool models you can't find in a larger scale easily.  Plus...construction is a really nice blend of flying models and the "real thing" like ribs, skinning etc.  Heck...you actually make panel lines when you put these together!  You should see my P-40, P-35 and Shoki.

You should give it a try, Herr Leutnant.  ;D

Thanks for looking and commenting, Allan.  I trust you guys are well and getting ready for Thanksgiving and all that fun.

Dan

Dan you take these models to a whole new level. Very difficult to distinguish between a plastic kit.  Keep up the great work!

Dan, in the YouTube video for this plane build you mentioned that you used a Dremel to do the wheels on this kit.  Could you expand on that please or shoot a video the next time you perform this operation?

Hi PW...

Here is a link to my Avro wheels/tires and they are all done the same way.  See if this one helps a bit and let me know if you have any questions!
