Sabre, A lot will depend on the size of model. I used decal on my flair Legionnaire, more than adequate although not overly pretty. If i had not wanted to get the model into the air quite so quick then would have considered painting. At 2m or more it makes little difference. However it all depends on what sort of model you want. I have started to experiment with silk over tissue, very rewarding but a lot of work. What ever you decide just enjoy. Regards SW

I hope to be able to join this build if i can get the chippy ready for final paint. I am in the process of covering ailerons, flaps etc with silk over tissue. A lot more work involved however very pleased with the initial tissue covering. If the covering goes well,there will be no need for solartex. I think my area of future intrest is going to be WW1 so the fury build does appeal as a good stepping stone, especially with the guidance from Danny. Regards SW

Danny, I had thought that it might help access to needle valve etc. However as i don't intend to mess around with engine settings once set up , then for simplicity it will be a more conventional fit. Cowl fitted with three 3mm button heads, inserts fixed into hardwood block which are mounted to F2. May add more fixings, may be into engine mount. Although this might cause problems with vibration now that i think about it. Once covered I will think about cooling baffles. Fin strake added along with wing fillets. Well at long last its starting to look like a chippy. Will now fill and sand fuselage, ailerons,flaps etc ready for covering. SW

Gents, thanks for the kind words, a few words of encouragement helps the motivation. Initially mounted the cowl just to ensure it looked about right, used temporary packs to help with alignment. As yet not sure how i will attach cowl but i think it will need a fixing in f1. I may bond part f1 onto engine mount, the lower section of f1 is likely to go, need to ensure that there is no obstruction for the cooling flow. Intend to hinge cowl as per Danny's version. Awaiting hinges from HK (thanks for the info Danny). With the cowl hinged I should be able to see and sort the cooling baffles. Regards SW

Hi Martyn, You should be more than pleased with the detail, should be more than good enough for stand off scale. Hope that mine looks as effective as yours. All the best for any competitions, something that I hope to do one day. SW

Fuselage now near completion at last. Modified F2 to allow for fuel tank, with removing a lot of the material I have given the inside face a layer of finishing cloth. Due to this project being longer than planned I was very tempted not to bother with any cockpit detail. However, I did manage to do the basics, as showed by Mr Fenton and very pleased with the result. Will mount engine next and then consider the cowl. Would be interested to do something similar to Danny’s version but at the moment unable to source any hinge Will add some web plates to the bearers and will be using a glass mount as recommended by Jon (Laser) All the best to everyone in 2018.

Silver Wolf replied to Nigel Dell's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Received a box of goodies from Richard. Not sure if the grey or green one had the cookies though. I had intended to build a "C" for electric power and "G" for ic power. However Richard phoned and suggested that due to having ali spinners available it might be better to have the "C" as the ic version. He kindly supplied a various selection of spinners to help me make up my mind. I wonder how many kit suppliers would spend the time on the phone to ensure that a customer was able to make an informed decision. Cannot speak highly enough of Richard, it will be a sad loss to the RC community if Richard sneaks out of the back door. Hope to make a start within the next month or so. Not sure if I will start new thread or continue on this one. Kind Regards SW
