Finally found time to tackle the Dart. The right was rough carved leaving the left with the alignment marks used to remove the excess wood.
The model will be made up of three major parts, wing, fuselage and tail fin plus two minor parts being the arrestor hook and the pitot tube.

  Lou,

  Do you use templates for the fuselage section or the Mk1 eyeball?

  Gordon

[lastvautour]

I use three view drawing and the MK I eyeball. Sometimes it works, sometime it don't.

Lou

[Boomerang]

  You've got an excellent Mk1.

[lastvautour]

Actually it is the enhanced Mk I. The use of glasses is necessary for all activities.

Drum roll please. The sixth Century Series Jet is completed. I used a combination of old kit decals, a few aftermarket pieces and some home made ones.
