Thanks, everybody- sorry I've been AWOL. I've busy working long hours and weekends on some big and exciting projects at work, so the the poor Hornisse has
been gathering dust. I've finally gotten a bit of time at the bench, and I give you sturm, drang and a pair of highly-modified parts. Cheers, mates!

Your a genious, Yoda would be proud.

Wow! Those legs are really a huge improvement.

Even though there's only that evil Pfennig nutcase participating in this episode, you manage to show some really stunning legs, ahhh!

Whistles ....nice pair of legs !!!!


So a man say's , How do you know these things ? Well I said , I know things about legs !

Aaah that sweet ChukW juju. Worth awaiting for.
Neat trick on the row of brackets.
I'll keep an eye for that opportunity in future.

WOW..........
doesn't DML make an 88mm AAA gun....
for those noisy..... Blimps.....?

Bl**dy unbelievable! *Puts the '410 back in the stash!*

Haha, thanks everyone! I can't believe I spent all that time on just the gear- but it was fun! The little brackets were the best part. Thw worst? I laid the two legs side by side for their glory shot- and I'd run the hydraulic line down the wrong die of strut #2!! I pulled the d@mned thing off, cleaned up the superglue with nail polish remover and did it again, did the clamps again... ooo, that Pfennig! I swear I'll get this thing done, so stay tuned!

Aieee! it's the General! Oh, this can't be good...

Great update chuck. That alot of work for a tailwheel but it came out good.

I'm affraid Chuck that sooner or later you will earn the ticket to the Ost Front...it will be one of the sadest days in the human history.

Durp! I had glued the little blocks in the wrong ends- that's a scar from the Tamiya extra Thin cement, you nit-picking B@ST@RD!!! Wait- I mean, it's where a rock got kicked up during a take-off run- yeah, THAT"S THE TICKET!

A rock at the German runway making such a big mess on the German airplane made of the German armoured-aluminium gear door? Can't be...I'm sure Pfenning will not accept it as an excuse... Sorry...

Doesn't look like a rock dent, more like a slipped wrench dent. Maybe Fritzi was just a bit torqued about something and went bangin' around with the strut spanner.

I've been working my tail off for the last two weeks and am beat. I've gotten a wee bit of modeling in, but not enough to do a real post, so Fritzi has kindly volunteered to model her new shorts. Take strength, oh friends in cold places- spring is coming!

Cheers!

Hey Chuk,

How about a bikini calendar featuring Fritzi and Hannah. That should get us all into the mood for spring.

Sweet.

WOW!!! Fritzy is looking better than ever.

Thanks, my friends!
I've been busy- and distracted- and been screwing up! Fritzi will give you all the grisly details...

Hi Chuck,

Another fine step-by-step. Masking tires--nice job. I look forward to your solution for painting the spinners.

BTW, how did Hannah win the Knights Cross?

Here's the outcome of the big spinner fiasco- take it away, Hannah!

excellent chuck
