Hi again

I think my first entry for this will have to be something of a "black project" - a badly stalled La-5 build for a magazine. I'll get into trouble if I show too much detail, but this is the current state of play:



I won't be able to post full updates - but I'll try to sneak in a couple of shots to prove it's progressing.

All the best

Signed up and this is my Hangar Queen, a refugee from the Camel v Fokker campaign



The kit is excellent and I have the pe kit as well, just ran out of time.

Here are my two Shelf Queens. Both were started around 2002. For some funny reason the more I moved around the world the more parts came up missing from these two. When I left Aviano Italy for Dayton, Ohio they each came up short one half a fuselage. After moving to Utah the He-178 is now wingless. I'll have to scratch build a replacement.

I plan on making each a 'mirror mount' display, where the half a plane is glued to a vertical mirror so from most angles it will look like a whole aircraft.

He-178

Hello All,
We now have a "sticky Thread" for the campaign. Please move your updates to the new thread. Just so you know it is called the Hangar Queen Campaign.
There is also be a gallery for your "before you restart photo".
