But without a settled price yet, I'm not going to offer that up quite yet. But when the time is right, I'll mention that to him :-) - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA That's acceptable, thanks Dennis.

Rgds jon Yeah, the prices on the Tamiya spits is still kind of on the high side, though deals can still be found here and there. I 'm a little surprised considering the age of them[not that they're old] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Time for another update. Here's the latest: "More work on the duct stuffing. Still need to add panels and rivets inside, but most of the shapes are there. I have also printed several prototypes to work out the wing to radiator fit. I will spare you the numerous fails and semi ok, to jump directly to the quite acceptable current, I still need to tweak it a little more, but it’s showable. Lastly, the retractable tail wheel is finally getting some love too. Cheers." - Dennis S.

Dennis7423 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Here's today's update: Starting to look the thing! No big step forward. But this session of test assembly and make it fly with a Rooooaaaar quite motivated me. Blades are good to go in tolerances, another cross on the list. Only tape and slight pressure on the assemblies, no glue." I mean, is it even a question about getting one of these? What a hot rod. - Dennis S.

Mark Proulx Mark, he made indications when I asked that either decals or masks would also be provided. He mentioned a specific RAF airframe (MV348, Violet Dorothy III), and I have to imagine since he's based in Belgium, that we'll see a Belgian option as well. - Dennis S.
