Tony Bennett Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Well as i am waiting for a big order of Depron to turn up, i decided to use up some scraps i had lying around. Cut out some bits and then nail them together. add some wings and some paint. Finally some printed out markings and we are just about done. 20" wingspan FF rubber powered model. So then you see that you still have half a sheet of 3mm sitting there and well hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. some 6mm offcuts as well. and we have half a fuselage for a 48" wingspan version sitting on the floor. Now all i need to do is finish the plans for the 1/4 version and the meteor and the tsr2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Only up to the "E", although some of the early "F"s without the struts had the tailplanes come off. Hope yours isn't one of those Tony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
