Hello. During our recent move to our new house the T-Bolt lost her left landing gear. It snapped clean off up inside the gear well, which is a good thing. She also lost her right wheel. Should be an easy fix. One our cats also knocked off two antennas on two of the Stukas, she wnated to get to the basement window, oh well, there animals. Just put up some shelves so I could get them out of the danger zone. I'm really looking forward to finishing up the Skyhawk. Ishould have all the models in a save place on Sunday. Thanks for looking, Wingman out.

Sorry to see your unintended damage, but it looks as though you faired pretty well. Most of my moves have not gone as well

I feel your pain!!!!

Hi Michael

I've just spotted your post and am sorry to see the damage. I think it's pretty eneviable to take a few hits in a move - and whenever I've packed kits on bases, they seem to have been the ones that suffered most.

Years ago, I had a Hurricane Mk1 that I used as a sales model for a fabric-wing conversion set which I used to produce - and I think I lost count of the number of times it shed its undercarriage! I think my big mistake was fixing it to the base...

On a brighter note, it looks like you're going to have a great new workshop - glad to see the workbench set up and the airbrush unpacked already! I can't wait to see your next finished models.

All the best

Rowan

Ive moved my stuff twice in the last couple of years and something always gets broken. I usually look on the bright side and say it could have been alot worse.

Sorry to hear about the damage. It looks as it could have been much worse. BTW: Great models

Hi guys. Yeah, you're right, it could have been much worse. Once the electric gets hooked up I'll finish the Skyhawk and then focus on the repairs of the other aircraft. Can't wait to get back at the bench, thanks for looking, Wingman out.
