A bit of work today shown here,the Fokker D7 has been completed complete with upper wing iron crosses,so one for the your new models for 2011 section Lou.
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawks,one in ID finish,the other with cockpit canopy, seat,control column and stick,I made up the undercarriage from rubber seals with dowel hubs and brass tube crimped for the legs,so in effect a ID Plus+ as Lou calls them,you can either just paint them up in a nice scheme or add as much additional bits as you wish,the seat etc were made from scrap printers litho plate.
Work continues on the Fiat CR30,the wings were bound with thick thread and lightweight tissue doped across the ribs to give a nice sag to represent the fabric finish.
So things are coming together while new projects get started.
Barry.
