It’s growing on me

Yellow and silver were the first prototypes. Mine will be the second version, only one made, dark Blue with white markings

Cheers Ralph

So far, happy. Covered the elevators and painted them. Doesn’t look too bad at all.
I’m using paint samples and a tube is supposed to cover 1m2. Not bad for 2€! Looks very close to the scale color.
Drying now, photos later

Some big steps in the build done!

I really like the look of it.

Anyway, 90% done now. Today is covering day so I can glue the rudders. Elevators are moving, and the canopy is taking shape.

Weight wise, I should be in around 2.2kgs, we’ll see anyway, it will be what it will be

I#m working on this at the minute. Likely to be a postal competition. Fly at your own field and I'll crunch the data
