It's just plastic (and stuff)....don't let it kick yer ass!!!!



Was about get working on the pair of 51's, but figured I oughtta get the pin system worked out for the wing fold before it goes off for paint.

Image

1 pin as the support bar, and 2 pins right at the fold.
"Pinch fit"...no glue yet!!!

I love your Devastator and want to unfold its wings...

Nice picture. That thing looks so ungainly.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
