Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 You sure you havn't a load of kids tucked away in a factory in far away places doing these for you? How do you possibly find the time and patience for so many in such a short space of time? lol Looking very very nice indeed, you don't fancy doing 6 do you?

Tim A Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Now I know why there's a world wide shortage of Balsa. It's all going to the Tony Bennett Ministry of Aircraft Production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could rename him Tom Bombadil, master of wood or Treebeard Still think it's a shame to cover the SE5a, such beautiful framework Tony, any chance of you bringing that to Newark?

Danny Fenton Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Lovely job Tony, can't have enough Hurricanes. I will be interested to see the work on the Reevesy one when you start, are you going to let us all watch? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 it will be shown in all it's mess ups on here. the foam core wing is the worst part, needs all the sheeting replacing and flaps and retracts fitted. but that is for another blog.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hey - watch it mate! That's my trademark your messing about with! if you start putting up out of focus piccies they'll assume I'm really you - or possibly even worse; you're really me! Seriously, lovely work as always! You do realise that you've built 5 Hurricanes in a shorter time than it took Supermarine to make the first single production Spitfire! And they had a few more people than you and the Ministry of Air breathing down their neck! BEB PS How have you fixed the doors to the U/C leg?
