A guy could spend weeks looking at that site. I will post it to the link board. NIce start to your Phantom. Will you be doing undercarriage?

Thanks Lou.I got that site from your link to the Laurent Chassard Harvard II. There are some great images on there. I will most likely build the undercarriage. Regards Paul. PS. with a bit of tweaking some of the profiles here could be useful!!!. http://skytoons.co.uk/?page_id=330

A bit of progress with component manufacture. I had to make the exhaust nozzles from square as I don't have any dowel. Wheels will be from the spares box. Regards Paul J.

When dowels are not available in the right size I quite often do the same for nacelles and exhaust. I must say it is looking great.  I look forward to the assembled model.

Thanks Lou, I'm trying to put in a bit more time on the work than I did do on the others, I don't like to stop once I get in my workshop!. Regards Paul.

Just a quick update to show progress so far. All main parts except burners glued on filled and sanded ready for first coat of primer. I could only find oil based grey primer, no waterbased available so I will have to mix some up. Undercarriage assembly also in hand, fuel tanks and pylons still to make. Regards Paul J.
