Perfection Chuck!

fantastic job on the handles! great tips I'm certain to use.

Thanks gents - much appreciated. Alan - Unfortunately no. The one that eluded me.

I believe that story involved Tom Byrne and we don't spill the rest of that. LOL. Great work Chuck! Keep at it

Thanks Breaker - thanks for the offer, no need as I'm all done making one. will get pics up shortly.

Thanks for the kind words gents! I have more done and will update with pics in the next day or two. Till then ........

Not sure about all the Kinetic boxings but the one I have is a hard 6-3 wing which would be a Sabre Mk 5.

You're joking right? Modelers coming to a consensus I can't even come to a consensus on breakfast

Sounds good to me - look forward to the progress!

It'll be great I know it! We have a TF-104 here in Langley but I don't know what the access is now. We're currently on lockdown. If I can help please let me know - I know a retired RCAF Starfighter tech who may be able to answer specific q's. PM me as needed.
