Thanks Dave
For info its a two peice wing, removable tail and the canopy hinges in the middle allowing access to wiring etc.
It's taken longer than expected (6months) however I'm pleased with the way it looks.
The retracts are Ray Slacks from a 1/5 Wellington, the steerable tailwheel is crafted in the finest shedology style and works well.
I'll take more pictures when I put it together next.
The props are 3 blade 26x14, in its first run yesterday it appeared over propped, however that may be due to the exhaust system as it was very quiet.
Unfortunately I didn't take the little piece of protective tissue out of the left engine carburettor prior to turning it over. This has been sucked in, requiring some dismantling.
Sea fury is next , i need to ferkle with the engine and tank before its maiden.
