Fiddlers Green Red Tailed Hawk
"Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a red tailed hawk out of my hat”.
"Aww Bullwinkle, that trick never works’!
I hope it does this time. I was planning on building the FG Burgesses-Dunne flying wing but this really caught my eye and I just have to build it.
Not sure how big this will build in to but real red tails have a wingspan from 43" to 57". I have some 110 lb 11" x 17" cardstock so I think I’ll scale it up a little bit. If anyone else has built this feel free to chime in.
I notice there are a number of relatively large pieces that need to be folded in half and glued back-to-back. Not sure how I’ll do that - spray mount, permanent glue stick or thin coat of white glue. Think the spray mount with a good sqeegeeing might be best. Again, chime on in.
I’ve never built anything organic before so i’m Looking forward to this one. I love the bird builds shown in other posts.
This model was designed by and the build pictures are by Richard Dery for Fiddlers Green.
