[Boomerang]

  Work has commenced on this project.
  To date 2 x Cassutts have been cut out and roughly shaped
  1 x Gee Bee Z has been cut out out, rough sanded.
  1x  Caudron C460 has been cut out

  As for Number 5  it will be a toss up between a Laird Super solution and whatever else I can find.
  My basic criteria is Bright colours and numbers.
  Pic to follow

Hi Gordon,

What's the over all size of the mobile going to be?


Peter

[Boomerang]

Peter ,
  I haven't got that far in my forward planning. Probably 18 inches by 18 inches.
  Then again I might just supply the raw materials and let his parents sort it out.
  I'll get all the models sorted first and then have a bit of a play.

  Cheers

 Tailplane's are 1mm ply. The spats on the GB Z are 1.5 mm ply core faced with balsa.
The undercarriage for the Cassutts are in the plastic bag and are from 1mm ply.
The rest is balsa from the bits box.
cheers

It is going to be a great build. Looking very promising so far.

I admire your creations Gordon. Your grandson will be well motivated to being an aviation buff.

Beauties each one. I will have to adopt a grandson to have an excuse to make one of these.

Well done! I think this is one of my favourite project to follow right now on SMM.
