A "pre-paper" endeavor from my past

Built this about 10 years ago. Guillows SBD in 3/4" equal 1'. Covered in iron-on stuff for R/C then airbrushed.

Display only and Yes I already have Nobi's 1:48 SBD in the queue. Also will jump Murph's Northrup BT to the front of the line when he releases it.

Looks great! The only Guillow kit I actually "flew" was their SE-5A. Some of there other ones flew right into the ground so that ended my flying days.

Nostalgia! That was the first kit that I built that didn't end up on the ground.
Flew it at the beach, Alameda, CA, on a windless day. Good memory.

Hey, a website which you may or may not already know of, (or might even be that Mike?)
Quote:
Welcome to Mike's flying scale model pages
The purpose of this site is to show examples of free-flight flying scale models mainly from the UK, together with useful information, hints and tips for fellow builders. If newcomers to this fine hobby find encouragement here, then so much the better! My main interest is in traditionally constructed scale models, built using a balsa framework covered in tissue. Motive power is usually electric, CO2 or the traditional rubber strip motor.

Neat-oh, Mike. As I recall, the interior had lots of paper in it so I'm not surprised!

Those were neat kits and with some lightning, flew pretty dang well R/C or free flight.

This is another reason I like paper models so much...they are sort of hybrids of static plastics with the attention to actual building techniques of stick and tissue.

Cool beans.
