Finding out today

[chris willis]

Just give it a couple of light coats on the inside with clear from a spray can. I used stuff from halfords.
Made a big differnce.

Ken.

What Ken "didn't" mention was, this was the first batch of canopies made for me by a new company, unfortunately his machine is so powerful it creates misting, the canopies that go in the kits will be crystal as from my previously used company.

Mine and Steves retracts are due in February. Maybe Tony is doing Greggs at the same time.

Hi all

Here are some pics of my contribution to the 1/4 star team.

Just applied the decals which are excelent, got them from Lee at Pyramid models, top bloke and cheap to boot !! the stars will fit any other model being built at the moment so give him a ring.
Nearly finished just engine to re fit, last coat of fuel proofer, smoke pump to fit and retracts when they turn up !!!

Looking forward to getting this one in the air and having some Yaking good fun with the rest of the mob.

Cheers Wolfie.

Lovely job Steve, what a sight it will be with them all lined up.
I'm thinking that to replace the Starburst manoeuvre the full size team perform, we should call it the Snowball.
It came from visualising the multiple mid air when the break is called and the resulting cloud of polystyrene over Baldock on practice day.

Can't wait to get mine done.

[steve white]
