Beautiful bird and thank you for the detailed WIP. Its been a pleasure to follow this stunning build.

i was amazed at the turn out - it seemed like half of auckland was there. we took a car load up (dad, uncle, family friend and myself) and got a spot between the skyhawk, avro anson and the mosquito. i have only uploaded one of the video clips i have so far - i havent uploaded the anson yet - but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2GOod7EsWU&feature=plcp

very nice - what size nozzle is your 3d printer using?

for those of us who arent in the states there is a nice virtual tour of the museum with audio clips here well worth a look

congrats - its a very tidy looking plane

could it be because of the stance of the plane/wing that having them open that way means they cant accidentally close on the crew's fingers and the ammo, and it doesnt require bracing to hold it open - gravity does it for free it looks to be quite a large door - maybe 1.5m long by 0.6m wide

very very nice looking plane

did i miss something in this thread - who is doing some Kiwi decals? i have the hasa sitting here waiting its turn

while it might seem that the model is getting the better of you, please dont ditch it - the work you have put into it is stunning and i cant wait to see it finished - it truly is amazing

we use tiny drills in our LPKF PCB mill which are supplied from embedded logic in NSW - you can make up a 10 spiral drill bit set by individual bits or buy the drill bits in packs of ten. they only go up in 0.1mm increments http://www.emlogic.com.au/price.php - under the LPKF tools

very very nice

awesome stuff so far marco

very impressive work Nige - looking forward to seeing it loaded up

wow - that is one nice looking plane

i picked the La-5/7

haha - you fell for our trap - your missiles have no effect on our biplanes

xmas present to your self

very impressive harvey i really like the oxygen hose

i suggested a A-6 intruder and a BAC 167 strikemaster in 1/32 - cant really have vietnam carrier set with out it(A-6) and strikemaster as the RNZAF used them for trainers for a while

thats really really cool. did you make the "steel" runway parts?

glad i got my order in for the glass nose. did any one else notice the posters listing the other ac that are coming out in 2011 from them? had they been mentioned before? the black widow and marauder

very very very nice

awesome - its just waiting to go on a hunting mission

awesome build - and i love the paint job. im currently doing the same version (G-4) in 1/48th with paint scheme from 6./NJG101

excuse my ignorance but what is the small cylinder on the bottom of the fuselage behind the wing
