  C-30 progress

 Markings are being applied free hand ( with a bit of help from masking tape).

 Undercarriage and Rotor mounting struts still require a bit of work.

 The white dots on the rotor attachment points are for me to know which one goes on where. Hopefully will be able to
  disguise these when finished.

Yes Gordon production starts again very soon,I agree the construction pictures add a lot of interest no matter how advanced the construction is of any particular model.

  Where things are at the moment.......

  Flycatcher - Undercarriage done but still on jig. bit more work on Fuselage stringers.

  Gloster IVb - Had to redo the upper wing/fuselage joint. The wing strut wouldn't fit with the original cut.
                      My mistake but learnt from it.

  DH 5          - Underside of stabiliser has been experimented on using "Naples yellow" acrylic paint to simulate clear
                      doped linen. Looks OK to me at this stage.

   Caproni CH 1 - languishing in its transport container. But not forgotten.

   Beaufort     - Most of the tricky bits have been done. The cowlings were done with cardboard tube from kitchen tidy bin
                        liner roll faced with two laminations of balsa. worked OK. Propellers are next on the to do list.

   Hopefully if I can remember Lou's demo ( couldn't find it) there should be some pictures attached.
