Progress so far.

V-173 -  Main undercarriage attached. Need to sill add one strut after doing the small fairings at the top.
               Balance weights on elevators made. Brass rod with a small blob of 5 min epoxy.

X-28 -  Cockpit done with rotary tool. Working on engine and wing floats.

   Cheers

  Working on pylon , engine and propeller for X-28.

A bit of progress. Decals added. Tail wheel fitted.

Spinners and propeller blades need a bit more work and are dry fitted.

The other picture is the tail wheel. Thick gauge copper wire around a bamboo skewer. Brass rod and tube with copper wire.
using the skewer made it easier to handle

Outstanding Model Gordon. Very realistic finish.

Very nice indeed Gordon, looking good. Regards Paul J.

It looks just like the real thing! (Although I am sure most pilots did not have the assurance of landing on carpet....!)
