Progress is slow but steady, I've focussed on making the bespoke hardware items like the wing tongue:

The soldering was easier than expected with the aid of a crocodile-clip clamping device I picked up from Lidl a few years ago.

Cheers, Russell H

  1. You got some good skills there mate. I was almost beaten by a foamy 'build' and this is a different league. Mightily impressive building and great reading!! Keep them coming.

  2. Still following this build, some very interesting construction techniques in this mode.
