edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 04-Jan-21 07:55 |  | Views : 825 | Been working on the Bugatti 100P plans while waiting for paint to come in for the XP-67. I spent five straight days over Christmas break creating the framework of the aircraft in Blender.org. Here is the results which I will use to create the scale plans. Everything in the model is scaled virtually to 1/14 so all wood thickness will end up as standard sizes (1/16” x 1/16” stringers, 1/16” sheet, 1/32” Sheet, etc.) |

Dfell | Sterling Albatross DII-A | Build | 03-Jan-21 05:31 |  | Views : 1323 | Hello – Sorry bit of a slow build this. A propeller carved from several sheets of cherry and maple wood I laminated into a block. May not be exactly correct shape for a D11 but was just pleased to get something resembling a propeller |

edtherenderman | Guillows Series 1000 - JU-87 Stuka | Build | 29-Dec-20 10:48 |  | Views : 800 | Bought myself a Christmas present from ebay. Of course, it arrived the day AFTER Christmas, but I still got it. Kit wasn’t what was advertised. The one in the advert was a newer kit. I can tell by the thickness of the plastic parts. Older kits are much more opaque than the new ones. This kit was from around 1985 from what I can tell from the sales materials inside the kit. Decals are shot. Cardstock interior paper is all brown and the plans are much discolored. However, all the parts seem to be there, and I was able to low bit the kit, so overall, I’m happy. I now have the F4U, P-47 and now the JU-87 in the closet to build. The only two I don’t have are the SBD-3 which I built as a young man, and the F6F which isn’t on my Must Build list. |

Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 24-Dec-20 13:19 |  | Views : 648 | This is a pretty simple plan. As I started, I realized that they did not plan for a motor,. So the first former is being left out so the motor will fit. Then a cowling needs to be built. Going to be a lot of innovating. |
