Has anyone got either for sale or able to either scan or photo an article in the April 2016 Traplet Model World magazine?

Time to move onto the top wing center.

Added rear formers.

lightly sanded then using Aliphatic, nice and slow

Center crutch assembled to one side, so far apart from the manual, it fits very very well. (fyi red bag is 1kg diving weight (leadshot equivalent)).

As stated manual is terrible and pictures are so unclear, to work out where the longerons went I dry fitted one of the formers to get an idea of where, as picture is wrong and very unclear.

And top cover (wetted) and formed over assembly

And we're off and running, reminds me of skyshark kits and how they snapped together, which is just as well the manual is pretty weak and just consists of pictures.

Thanks, may have to get some of Rapids film, much better price than what I have found.

Despite the shortage, I searched the Web and found a few stockists in the UK of the sfm se5a kit. £99 was the lowest price and was dualy ordered and received with free p&p bargin. Just starting to get everything together, and since when did covering become so expensive? £30 for 2mtrs? Wow.

Moving swiftly on

Hi Jeffrey, the motor was elcheapo from Amazon Nope left the nose as is, just added the extra former and drilled the front to suit.

Motor now in its new home

Made a former (firewall) to hold my cheapo motor (will add some offset).

Joining the two fuselage sides (center only).
