You are going to have a real nice collection Biggles.
Lou
Thanks! Catalina got a black under coat, I like the black cats colour scheme.
Biggles
Please let me know in your post when your projects are ready to be placed in the 2014 construction photo album.
Lou
Okay, dose that mean when they are finished?
Lancaster + stand.
Biggles
Yes, when they are totally finished,
Lou
Looks good so far.
Gordon
Righto. Bristol Blenheim, tiger moth, P-3 Orion and Boeing sterman are all finished.
I await your photos.
Lou
"Sorry and all that old chap", but are the pics already posted usable? i have allready sent the models to my customers and cannot get any more shots of them.
What scale are the Tiger Moth, Orion, Stearman and Blenheim?
Lou
really sorry, but my computer crashed before I could save the plans so I don't know.
So some more photos of planes from 2015.

Nice selection Biggles, regards Paul J.
Please provide scales for your projects and details of products used in the construction. They all look great. Which ones were done in 2015. I can reissue the poster to include your models or place them in the 2016 poster.
Lou
Thanks every one,
and Lou;
#1 photo: This is not a real plane, just some thing I made up as I went along. No scale.
#2 photo: Sea fury, 1/50
#3 photo: Spitfire 1/50
#4 photo: Typhoon 1/50
#5 photo: All three on stand
#6 photo: All the old 2013/14 planes
#7 photo: Extra 300 and 250
#8 photo: Extra 250, to attach the wings I drilled a hole through the fuselage and two furrows in the wings then put a brass wire through the fuselage and glued it all together. When dry I filed it down.
#9 photo: Extra 300, for the undercarriage I made some U shaped bits of wire and knocked them into the fuselage, holding the wheels in place. then I put a blob of solder on Each bit were it touched. It seems to work!
#10 photo: 747 Jet, 40cm or there abouts.
Some thing I used on the extra 250 is Selleys no more gaps. It works well for fillets.
Biggles
Thank you Biggles. What finish did you use for the Spitfire/Typhoon/Seafury?
Lou
Lou, I used walnut gloss varnish. It looks much better if you put 10% turps in It.
I am making a INKA training glider from 1937-38. the plans don't say scale, but its middle size.
Biggles
Added Belly skid.

Looking good Biggles.
