The Hotspur is nearly finished. Fuselage skid and decals to be added.

  Thanks Lou/Barry

  Homemade roundels. The "61"on the side was done using a "colour pen". It's also a figment of my imagination.

  On with the Hotspur. Also have a Hamilcar and Stirling in cut out in same scale.

  Cheers

Some work done on the Hotspur. Homemade decals applied and undercarriage fitted.

just leaves the skids to be fitted

The Lysander was started at the same time and gets worked on occasionally.

cheers

The planes are ready to fly off the screen. Some of these projects do take a bit of time.

Title indicates finished Horsa but text indicates skid missing. Please clarify.

With the D-Day celebrations taking place soon your lovely little gliders are very appropiate.

   Might try and get a little momentum  getting the Stirling finished around Market Garden time.
   Time will tell. Several others front of it.

Hotspur is finished. Added skids made up from thin strip of aluminium take away container ( very thin) and thin gauge
  copper wire . Ident letter is free hand using a white colour pen.

Found some info on the tow attachment for the Lysander. So will carry on with that and the Hamilacr, Stirling as free time and other commitments permit.
