Bluebird & Other Scale Models
After a great deal of soul searching I've decided to bin the idea of a ducted fan & go for an electric prop drive, I've ordered all the necessary bits & I'm patently waiting for the postman to arrive. Xmas has been busy with family visits but I've managed to sneak off into the attic once or ...

Re: Bluebird & Other Scale Models
Hi Al, I do like a good looking rear end,'what A shame you're taking a saw to it, have you not considered making a new canopy for the 64 version & keeping this? I've already made a plug for the canopy, just waiting for the plastic to arrive then I'll have a go at vacuum forming, what's the old s...
