Looking good so far Mag, looking forward to more pics.

Ok engine and props. The engine instructions said all black, but I brought it up a level with my knowledge of this kind of engine. Props still need the yellow tips..

Looking good Mag.

ozhawk40 · 07-21-2009, 06:40 PM

Agreed - coming along nicely- times four! Four times the work on these crates.

Maglar · 07-21-2009, 07:37 PM

Hah yeah. I just have to wait for the aluminum to come then I can prime and paint it. Besides the wheels, everything else is finished outside of the bird itself. So once the NMF is on it will be real easy to put together. Which was my plan on such short time.

looks great Maglar

Wayne Little · 07-23-2009, 06:09 AM

looking good.

Maglar · 07-24-2009, 08:49 PM

I started airbrushing the primer and said F this, got out the tamiya surface primer and finished the whole bird in 5 minutes. The aluminum came so I will probably airbrush that on tomorrow. Need to putty the wheel seams then paint that up. Cutting is close!

Mag, I seriously cannot tell you how jealous I am of you for posessing this bird!

Maglar · 07-25-2009, 03:13 PM

Haha, good to have you back on board Treb. It was only $30, you could order it if you want...

Wayne Little · 07-26-2009, 06:29 AM

Looks great mate!

Trebor · 07-26-2009, 11:53 AM

lol yeah, it has been a while since I posted.

and I know it's only 30 bucks. but I focus on other things such as my flight simulator. enhancing it as much as I possibly can so I can practice flying with a yoke and rudder pedals and such. cos I really am wanting to get my private pilot's license. plus I wanna move outta my parent's house and be more independent, but I'm not a saver, I'm a spender. lol

anyway, nice job, Mag! and y'all know what I'd do once I get that bird! and I'm not gonna use the aluminum color, I'm gonna paint her a niiiice chrome color to get that polished metal look. cos I got a nice biiiig bottle of chrome silver I can use to paint her
