somnas Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Just have caught up with your build and it's most impressive work! I've had trouble before when the wings doesn't match up with the fuselage, now I know how I can try to tackle that. Keep up the good work.

Youngtiger1 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Karl, great job on thus far. I just got this kit as well, and boy it sure needs a lot of work. Good thing I paid less then $20 for it. Anyway, I'll have to look into the tail as well. Looks like you are almost home with this project LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
