2512 forum posts 67 photos	Hi Mark. Looks great mate. I am using a Laser 70 4st which should give me scale power. As for a build log, I don't have my camera as I am building this whilst away from home. But I will take some photos at the weekend as I have made a few modifications: 1) Blocked up one of the cowl inlets and resprayed it ( I intend making a semi-scale exhaust outlet too) 2) Replaced the gipping "village people" pilots and added a home made semi scale cockpit instrument set 3) Added a set of scale decals from Pyramid (the big set for WZ879 "X") 4) Added the two forward extensions to the tail plane horizontal stab 5) Added canopy handles That's it so far but I intend trying to make more realistic u/c legs and fairings with oleos and perhaps a landing light.

2512 forum posts 67 photos	Jets? I started with a Cermark F16, but that scared the pants off me. So I then bought a secondhand Boomerang Intro. It's an absolute pussy cat too. As for the Chippy, it's just a thought at the moment if the right offer came my way.... Edited By Shaun Chant on 17/05/2010 15:58:53
