Hey Guys,
Sorry for the low quality images here but I thought I'd show off my first completed flap from Flightpaths new set. I'll be doing a review of the build upon completion (and I'll be working on better photography on the way) but this is a bit of a taste of the quality of this kit. Some may remember me asking last week about soldering PE parts together....Well i can now say that you can almost completelly build these units with the use of a soldering iron. 11 parts all up making each flap assembly.

Starboard inner Flap unit.
Bye for now

Wholly Crap! 11 pieces for just one flap!
What does the rest of the kit look like?

I know some real aircraft sheet metal workers who would be jealous. Or could give you a hand.

Keep us informed on the rest of the build.

wow....sorry for my lack of reply here Keith. I'm currently waiting on delivery of a PE bending set to help with this kit. Will hope to have more pics up within the week.
