Did you dare to exhale while you were putting it together or did you build it all it one deep breath?
Looks great!

Neat job as usual. Dan |

Beautiful, clean work. I can almost imagine putting the cockpit in a small case by itself as an example of what wonders can be achieved in paper.

@ Elliot – good question! I don’t remember breathing while assembling the gun sight but, you know, the Mk.I human model has an autopilot for breathing. So, either it was engaged or I was not breathing. Hmm, maybe the first guess is the most probable
@ Dan / MrConk - thanks The cockpit is closed by a single part that fit perfectly. |

Love AH cockpits and this one is very nice as you have built so cleanly! The wraparound panel is really cool.

@ Glen - you can look almost anywhere and still see a dial, in this cockpit
Unlike what happens on most Halinskis, the fuselage structure is continuous from the cockpit to the tail. I am not a big supporter of this solution because there is redundancy to define the fuselage geometry. The structure and the skin have to mate at every point. On other kits, I experienced the need to discard or cut bits of the (hidden) structure in order to get a decent finish on the (visible) skin. See the parts provided to fix the antenna and the tail skid wire. It is good when the editor takes care of those details and even better when they are well conceived. |

The horizontal tail is typical Halinski: well-engineered. It takes time to cut and assemble all the parts but it is an easy task, which very much improves the probability that it will come out well.

The transition from the upper/rear fuselage to the empennage has several parts that have to be adjusted carefully. If the first one is not at the proper place, it is almost certain that the problem gets worse for the others. Anyway, the fit is good!

Thanks, YOAV
Today’s pictures show the tail section conclusion. The tailskid is not very solid but doesn’t have to cope with much weight, either… |
