SPA Modeler

Hate that it came to this but glad you found a solution you are happy with

Happy can mean so many things. But, yes I can move along. Thanks for the support.

That's looking good Lyle.

Thank you. More surgery done. Details later.

I love the choice that you made here Lyle and I would've done the same. Internal details can be overrated on a model. Especially if those details are going to be viewed through clear parts marred by scratches and cracks. You took a big distraction out of play and I think your model will look much better for it.

Thanks, John! I appreciate your words!

Okay, dummy move time....I forgot to put the piece inside the fuselage halves for the tailwheel. So, out came the razor saw.





now the clean up



And, the vertical stab did not match up in the front by a good 1/32 or more. So......

Lyle, I commend you on exercising such persistence and perseverance on this difficult kit. Having built on one of these in the past, I can sympathize with what you are going through. You've made some great decisions and adapted well to the challenges this has given you. You got this man, I especially commend you for your brilliant way you added the tail wheel well to the rear fuselage. I made the same mistake, but didn't do that so my fix was longer and harder. Way to go!

Mark, thank you.

Man I hate that this thing keeps fighting you. Keep at it!
