David Gilder Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Last year I picked up an ARTF Bronco from a model auction in Bury, Manchester! I set it all up and last October it had its maiden flight! on the Great Orme at the final PSSA meeting of 2012. It flew a dream and having maidened it in the original covering I promised to give it a make over with a real design! I have settled on the following scheme of the California Department for Forestry and Fire! So, in the last few days I stripped off all the old covering on the fuselage and booms and started to cover in the new correct colour! Well, I have done most of that now and will include some pics when I remember to take some! I am currently sorting out the decals during my down time at work and hope to be putting them on next week! so to leave you now but here are a few shots taken from the maiden.

Olly P Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Lovely Job dave - Thats 2 PSS models from the Bury Metro Auctions that I know of! I must make the next one....assuming the shed is finished and wallet recovered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Okay. Confession time! Having made up all the decals ready for printing I between calls at work!, I managed to forget to print them out on the colour printer! So currently I have no decals to put on! That aside, the front end is nearly completed with the exception of putting a bod in the office! The back end still needs a little covering trim work and the rudders covering with red and white! So I thought it was a fair time to put up a before pics alongside an almost done pic so you can spot the differences! I will update once I have done the tail end and got the decals on!

David Gilder Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 So I have decided to pop a few more pics on before the decals are done! I have finished off recovering the tail end this morning! So all that's left to do is put the elevator servos back in and connect up, decals on and then affix the canopy! Should be done in a day or 2 although night shifts now get in the way till Friday! Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
