The latest state of play chaps  :)

Prop and Hucks starter dog done, and also
the bungee setup for the wheels, which will
have spokes and thus the suspension is
visible.  All Easter weekend stuff  8)

Have a good one lads

All the very best

Truly brilliant work on the bungees, Dave, and the prop looks fantastic.
Cheers,

VERY nice work Dave, and the bungees look spectacularly real. Looking forward to the update showing the spoked wheels.
Cheers,

Looking good Dave:

Apparently WNW is going to release a version of this in the near future.  Looking forward to see how you pull this all together.  Your laminate in the prop is spot on, and the rest is, well, spot on as well.

Best

Thanks lads. I am in the same club as the Wingnut Wings guys,
Richard A, always gives us the inside info, but nothing on the Ninack.
A guy at work here, knows a lad that builds engines for Peter
Jacksons TVAL, and he says he's been working on a Liberty.
Only one plane fits that, I assume, so maybe a real one is in
the offing . . . . ?

Painted on the sytylised B for 'B' flight, gave the
prop a spin, and progressed with the tail fins.
Have a good week lads, and all the very best
