Hi Jurjen, I'm joining your club! Armour modellers for Aeroplanes!
This is a great build so far and if you're AFV's are anytihng to go by this plane will be brilliant.
I don't know about you, but for me the hardest step moving into aircraft was all the sanding and filling. I never really had much need for much sanding with tanks...

Hi Jon, welcome to our club!
Yeah, I know what you mean. Sanding and filling, I've never done it before so much compared to armour models. It is definately very different. But it brought back my modelling fun again. And the next time I build a armour model, it would be peanuts! Sofar it has been a huge learning experience. Building is one thing, painting is the next step in this quest.
Unfortunately I cannot do any updates because I'm in China for research and when I go back end january I have exams, jeej. Anyway, as soon as I have something new to show, I will let you guys know!
Xiexie!

Hi guys!
At the moment I;m assembling the wings and I was wondering how I need to position the flaps for a take of position. I'm sure about the rear ones but I'm not sure for the front flaps. Should they be extended?
Thanks!
