Hi Mick
How is the Ka8 coming on? Have you any more photos of your progress it is looking great so far. I am working on one myself at present and have the Fuss and tail-plane almost finished and ready for covering. I will hopefully get to start on the wings shortly and I will post some photos very soon.
Can you advise if you managed to source a 1/3 scale sliding window for the canopy I need to install one on mine in order to have access to open the canopy latch.

Keep up the good work

Joe

hi
thanks for the intrest , its been on hold for a while , due to house move and apperently more important jobs like decorating and hanging curtains
hope to get back into it this weekend , i just need to sheet top of wings and air brakes and aileron
and cover
i didnt get a sliding window , couldnt make one that was good enough and bought on didnt look right
i open canopy by a thin sheet of brass sliding between canopy and frame to puch the magnectic handle away
will try to find pics
be great to see you progress

hope these pics help
the catch connects to a magnet in fuse
will take some more pics to explain more

Spanner:
Thanks for the update Mike hope you get to progress the model soon.
Did you try the windows from Topmodel the ones they have listed are the wrong scale and would probably look wrong or did you source them somewhere else. I have made a spring loaded canopy latch as in full size and will probable have to do as you suggest and make up a tool to open and close via the small gap between canopy and fuselage.

Look forward to seeing progress on the model soon.
