Yep, picked this one up at my local a couple of weks ago.
I think I'm going to have to let my head rule my heart here though. I'm going to go with the 57 Squadron Overall PC10 finish... My Heart wants to have some colour on the shelf.

Cheers,

Hugh

Yep, this is a very fine kit to build.I have my on the shelf and it really put some colour in the collections.

Hi Lars , you did a wonderful job on the DH-4 The red tail really makes the kit stand out . What method did you use for your turnbuckels ?

Hi T
the turnbuckles was made from hotstreched Q-tips. Tiny loops was made from wire and glued into predrilled holes in the wings.



the thread is a steching thread called Gold-Zack, similar to the one Aeroclub is selling.The Q-tpis are hotstreched and cut to 2mm pieces.


The thread goes thrue the tiny tube and you got the first turnbuckle


Just read this and use Gold-Zack.
