Chris/Germany Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hey Jack, no secrets bout this: we've had a katholic celebration day today ( so no work), summer has finally come with 30 degrees, kids are all in "hotel grandma", the missus is toasting her white legs in the summersun , so I'm sitting at my workbench at the big living-room window, having a drink every 30 minutes and doing the wildcat the whole day. God save those days! cheers.......with a pinacolada on the workbench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Let me guess...a new 'cutaway' ? Â If I'm correct,you may send my price. Â I'm sure another winner in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 progress goes on very well, fuselage halfes are framed, interior boards mounted, ready for a first coat of filler before adding radios and wiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris/Germany Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Some say they're old, some say they're bad! I love those old Revells anyway, and even if they dont have nice panellines like a new molded kit some parts of engineering with the molds were very well done! Here's the Wildcats landing gear: very good construction, not really too far away from the original, only modified with a few "nuts and bolts" here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LSP_Jay L Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 "Hotel Grandma" I love it! I've got to get all of mine off there sometime soon  Superb work so far Chris.  Cheers mate,  Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris/Germany Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hy mates, after a short break progress on the "little cat" goes on well so far. fuselage halfes are filled with interior and a bit of rudder-wiring. I'm desperately waiting for a "Engine&things" Wright Cyclone I ordered from Great models webstore so I cant mate the fuselage halfes untill all the stuff forewards the firewall is in position. Here's the portside fuselage with a test mount of the landing gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
