GrumpyGnome Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hi David Yes, when I posted they were out of stock But now they have stock and one arrived yesterday afternoon !! First impressions ? Kit looks nice but instructions are pretyy poor. And I have to actually bend the undercarriage myself .......................... Might do a build log. Unlikely to be starting it for a few days though. GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Is that one of the new releases to their trad build kit range GG?I hope the instructions have improved Edited By David Ashby - RCM&E on 21/10/2011 07:10:31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Wilson Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi, Well I have one and am building it. Don't know what the original instructions were like but I would say the current ones are not that good. Mostly just photos with I would say a poor translation of the German. There is also a mysterious photo of a block of balsa which is described as the "cylinder head" in its rough state! Can't think what to do with that based on the design - there is no dummy engine. There is also nothing on engine mounting, some extra bits in the kit which I think are associated with engine mounting (a ply ring and a ring with holes in it) but I can't be sure. Not one for the beginner but otherwise a good little model I suspect. Time will tell Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon B Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Be extremely careful with handling the wood during the build. I have a Mew Gull and the wood quality is very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radge Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh dear, and I was thinking of ordering one. They looked so good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon B Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Very soft wood indeed. I ended up having to make a new wing spar and the ribs are over lightened, so break if you so much as look at them. By all means buy a kit, but make some new parts using the kit as templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
