So is this still collecting dust Lyle?

Yeah, I guess. The intakes took a lot of the fun out of it. Bruce offered up a good solution, though. Just too many going on at one time. It isn’t dead.

Ah common problem with that kit I think. I've not built anything that size yet but I should at some point so I can see what everyone else was on about!

That would be fun to see! In this case, size isn’t a factor so much. Crappy design and manufacturing seem to be the problems.

I should not stress over that too much, though. No one sees any of the builds.

Hey, Bruce....any ideas as to what will glue paper/card stock to plastic? CA didn't. testors red tube didn't. Elmers white glue didn't.

May switch to really thin plasti-card....Hmm...……….

Re-started this one. It is #4 of the Group Build items. Had to glue the entire fuselage halves again. Seems hitting the floor split the seam...along the entire length of the body. Then, I like to never got the tape off!

Good to see this on the bench again lyle!

Thanks, Stuart. It will be a time-filler while the C-54 is being built.

dah duh...dah duh, dah duh dah duh.....It lives. Well sort of anyway. Stuck the wings on it just for kick and because my coffee cup is empth.



between this, the C-54, the Spruce Goose, B-29 (S.O.S) and the Gigant (S.O.S)….I'm gonna need a bigger boat.

Woohoo! that looks cracking Lyle!

Thanks. It is still pretty rough. Not having.much luck covering the intake vanes. I do believe they will be okay?
