Hi Des,
 You need a sculptor to make up some Dastardly and Mutley figures  ;D

Great work!

Thank you Jak and Terri for your comments, they are much appreciated.

Terri, great little video and I can quite easily see why you connect my model to this film, it would fit in perfectly with the other bits and pieces aeroplanes  :) :)

The wing has been formed by gluing two sheets of 0.4mm styrene cut to size, then they were wrapped around a piece of 56mm PVC tube and taped with duct tape to obtain the correct airfoil shape. It was left for a full 24 hours to dry thoroughly before the tape was removed and the wing now retains its shape and the curve adds stength. I still need to sand the leading and trailing edges and the tips, then all the rib tapes need to be added. These pictures show the unfinished wing just sitting roughly in position, it is only a small wing with no dihedral.
