   You don't have to listen but I'll complain anyways....................Good News, work cancelled today, Bad News, cancelled due to extreme wind chill and temperature........It's 1030 in the A.M. and minus 30 degrees with a 25-35 KMH wind!! As our Weathermen like to say, "feels like Minus 45, exposed flesh freezes in less then a minute"
   Let me tell you the ways I envy you folks right now........... Lucky devils, enjoy!
Cheers,

Flaming Heck Lance, and I though Scotland used to get bad.
Keep warm and safe mate, if I could send you some
sunshine I would. All the best from down here.

Hi Ermeio,

I envy you living in Roma  I have had some amazing holidays
there in the past. Here in Wellington it was 27 degrees yesterday
and forecast for today is much the same. Nice to hear from you.

All the very best from NZ

Looking Good Dave:

This is really going to be a neat looking model with the silver finish, the tropical radiator and all the other doo dads you have going on.  Again, looking real good and looking forward to seeing it progress.

Best

[KONG]

Cheers Mark, Lots more doo dads to come 

Have a good one

Dave

[KONG]

Not quite finished yet, however here is the twin Lewis
and almost a complete Scarff Ring.
Have a good week chaps   

All the best

Dave

[KONG]

And the last two . . . Just got to fix up the bungee

[lcarroll]

Kong,
   That's a fantastic looking job on the Lewis's and Scarff Mount, what's the source of the sights and counterweights/deflectors or are they from the "Kong-Desk"?
Cheers,
Lance

[KONG]

They are Norman Vane Sights. The front part
is adjustable for the aircrafts speed, and the
vanes at the back, due to the slipstream, keep
it all on track. Google Norman sights for more.

Cheers

Dave

[lcarroll]

OOOPs! Should have been clearer in my question Dave. I'm wondering if the added sight components are Kit, After Market, or scratch built by yourself?
Cheers,
Lance

[KONG]

Sorry Lance, all scratch built, but when I look at it again,
the vanes at the back are a wee bit too BIG. Tonight I
will make them right.

Cheers Lance
