Haggis Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I am absolutely loving following this! How come you went for lead sheet on the main wells? Thought this kit was a pretty bad tail sitter as it is The lead sheet is really thin, I used it as it needed moulding around the contours and would be easier than plastic card. Its not that heavy but there's plenty of weight in the nose!
Zero77 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 The engine fronts were blacked off with plastic card. You'll see why later! Oh my God ! It's going to be a piston engine powered Bronco ! That build started greatly, but it's getting better and better ! One of the most interesting thing to watch at this time !

Fenous Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Hello, how do you bend those Albion Alloys tubes? I`m still unable to bend them and prevent flattening the bend. Zero77 1
Haggis Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Fenous, I insert a solid brass rod which supports it from the inside and prevents it from kinking. To be honest, I have used the Trumpeter stuff before which is easier to bend but harder to cut.
Fenous Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 So it means you leave the brass rod inside then? It`s good idea, I have to try this.
