Beautifully done, Brian.  :o
Thanks for sharing.

P.S. Does the MengNut Tripe have any vices we need to know about? I've got the 1/32 and 1/24th in my stash, but no gotten around to nailing them together as yet. Be nice to know of any pitfalls, if any. Cheers. Bob

Your completed Meng DR1 looks wonderful!

I notice you have also managed to straighten out the upper wing - was that difficult?

Regards


Dave

I keep seeing people crying about the wing all over the internet, I just bent it back.  No boiling water, no heat guns, I just bent it with my hands.... took 30 seconds.   Don't let all these guys get you worked up, this kind of stuff is not a big deal to fix. 

Thanks for the kind words everyone

Yep, nothing difficult in fixing the wing! You used the same method I have on all of mine! Your LvR bird is Beautiful! Well Done!

Not really the fit was tight. I didn't love the instructions, but I won't hold that against the model itself.  The landing gear is pretty thin, I may throw down for a metal set.
