    Hi folks. I have not posted a build on here for a long time, so hello again. Seeing Richards superb kit of the 190 and the mass build have pulled me back in 🙂. I am not going to do a blow by blow account as others are already doing a splendid job with that bit. Its well worth reading their blogs as all the tips and tricks they are putting into the builds are really great and make the build really easy, so thank you to all the early starters. So far I have built most of the fuselage, also the wings are done awaiting covering with brown paper - a first for me. I have got some from Sainsburys and done a test so it seems fine for the job and will be a lot cheaper than glass and resin! It's a tribute to Richards kit that I am so far along at this point as I am normally so very slow - only started it on Friday.... So excellent for me. The Flair Legionnaire I am working on is a couple of years in - and I got that as a part built airframe!!! I'm going to try and concentrate on the faffing around that I like to do with a build - that is add scale-ish details and interest to the airframe whilst trying not to add too much weight 🤞. So pilot, bit of cockpit detail, a few bulges here and there and maybe some exhaust stubs... I will see where it takes me with the rest. Also I have an underused airbrush and compressor that I need to play with so that should be interesting, for me at least! The first thing I started with today was the cooling fan for cowling as it looks a bit empty to me without it. I like to use Fusion 360 for 3d modelling, so fired that up today. I also have 3d printers at work (Ultimaker 2+) so it seemed rude not to use them. Here is the result I am going to leave a small rim around the inside of the cowl for it to be glued to - which i will paint black, so hopefully wont show too much. I have also included small pads on the back of the fin tips to glue to. Very pleased with the result! Thats all for now, Good to be back, Cheers Simon
