  1. Hi Picked up this Hangar 9 unfinished F6F Hellcat, the covering needs a bit of a tidy up but everything else seems sound. Question With ultracoat, can I key down the gloss finish & add paint via my iwata airbrush? If yes, does the type of paint matter as I have a vast collection of water based acrylic Mr Hobby / tamiya? Rgds Mart
  2. Hi Ron I'm new to electric, would the T-33 kit ESC take a 4 cell lipo? It does fly nice on 3 cell but could do with a bit more ummfff. Just worried about burning something out? Best Mart
  3. Morning Last night I test flew this Arrows Lockheed T-33 in glorious late evening light, no wind, warm sun.........lovely!? This is the 1st time for me with a EDF & I have to say i'm impressed with its performance, 30% E/P set on the flight surfaces and it flew rock solid. Used x3 overlander 2200mha 3S lipo's with flights lasting 4-5 mins, though i'm sure with a bit of wind you could knock a minute or two off. Best Mart
  4. Many thanks chaps, attaching now!
  5. Hi Getting back into model flying again & have quick question. Purchased 2 graupner 12x7 props for my O.S 55AX & i'm unsure if these are for electric, not IC? Can someone please confirm...... Many thanks Mart
  6. Hi Miss Kitty III that Aircorps finished a few years ago would be a nice choice. All over natural ali with the O.D anti glare & black tail. You can see the various area's of acid etching where the spot welded sheet metal skins are placed. Best Mart
  7. Afternoon I'm looking at buying a 46 size engine for my Magician that i'm building. Has anyone got experiance of "Force" engines? Seen a few shops are stocking these now. Best Mart
  8. Well, it did'nt take too long....... Airframe stripped & looks as though its been built well. Some areas req attention, the R/H lower longeron is split along with the underside sheeting & the rudder post / vertical spar has faired the same. Also noted is that a replacement firewall / servo rails / upper R/H fwd fuse sheeting will be needed. Some area's you can see have succumbed to fuel, but all are bone dry now. All the fixing's ( horn's / rod's / various clevis / wheels / tanks ) will be wasted & new stock fitted. Best Mart
  9. Hi Chanced a punt on this Speedy Bee on ebay today & won it for £21. Collected from a very nice chap outside Lincoln this afternoon & quickly returned home with it before evening dinner in peterborough stopped play. I'll strip all covering to inspect the airframe but already I can see areas that require a fix, it looks as though it has'nt flown for a few years. With a little 4 stroke upfront i'm hoping it will be a relaxing lazy summer evening flyer?. Best Mart
  10. Nice 1/12th scale 3D printed pilot turned up today, the legs will have to go though.? Best Mart
  11. Hi All the planking has been completed with the underside bellypan being the last to do. 1st time laying down this method & i'm not sure that I got it 100% right. The cockpit area around F4 has been released with some material to be lost on the actual former itself to allow a shallow cockpit floor to be glued in place. Best Mart
  12. One canopy! I think it will clean up ok. Best Mart
  13. Ready to profile that cowling / speedring. Best Mart
  14. Hi Looking for a solid well presented Wot 4 IC airframe, based in Cambs & South Lincs, can travel to Norfolk & Suffolk. Anyone looking to part?? Best Mart
