A beautiful airplane of the Gold Age of aviation. I eagerly look forward to your build. It looks like you are well on your way, with your usual high level of precision.

Great start. The engine/cowling and the fuselage look very nice.

Hi
I am working in the wings First piano string ( 0,4mm) it´s very good for many things, it serves to reinforce pieces such as those in photography and even as bits |

Good afternoon Pieces prepared to assemble. Before doing so, I have to do the tail hook to stop the plane during landing. If I put any piece before, it could be very difficult to do it later

Very fine work!
Below is an image of the actual aircraft that the model is based on: Curtiss F11C-2 Goshawk Bureau of Aeronautics Number (BuNo) 9279, in the markings it carried in 1933 as the lead aircraft of Section 6, of Battle Force Fighting Squadron 1 (VF-1B “Top Hats”) aboard USS Saratoga (CV-3). The image is from the U.S. Navy History and Heritage Command and is available at https://www.history.navy.mil/our-col.../NH-94812.html Don Last edited by Don Boose; 06-02-2020 at 06:28 AM. |

Hi After thinking three days, I have fixed the landing gear problem. The kit proposes the solution of the drawing, with a single brass rod. It is practically impossible to do so, so I have divided the rod into two equal halves, which pass through a cardboard tube. The two halves are manufactured separately without problems and then they are inserted into the cardboard tube with a drop of epoxy glue. I suppose this trick would be habitual, but I did not know it. It is not very difficult, of course

Looks like an elegant solution to the problem of inserting the landing gear reinforcement wire.
