I accidentally deleted April ping.  As to May, 163683 pages were viewed as we continue to be very popular.

Progress on the Beaver has been on hold for the last week. Currently my shop is covered in what feels like a foot of sawdust for an apparently critical furniture project. Almost finished that!

Still around.

Decided to clean up finish a few things with the added time on my hands.

- Progressing the CH-1 - have decided to leave the rigging and aileron linkages.
                                     Decals have been applied ( all 4) cleaning up the engine and propellor.

- The Cierva c-25 - needed the red  speedbird finished. decided to make a decal and it worked. Cleaning up the fuselage. Need to fix the propeller and port wing. redo the red trim
                            Might add some detail to rotor       

- The Avro Rota Mk1 /Cierva C-30 - general touch up and new decals applied as a painting guide . The original hand painted ones weren't that far out.
                               
If the model show comes off in November I'll put the C-25 and C-30 in

- Have cut out a 1/60 Nakajima Ki-43 and a NA P-51 B/C  along with a 1/40 Me -163 .

- Lurking in the background is a Fokker triplane and Armstrong Whitworth Siskin.


Pictures to follow .

Cheers
