Thanks gentlemen, always appreciated!

Just a teeny tiny update tonight. Not much gets done on “school nights”, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).

Work on the radar pod commenced. For the actual front radome, Orlik uses the pedal method, what I like to call the “Jughead Smith” hat method (for any of you Archie comic readers out there). I’m jettisoning that for a card stack/dremel tool deal:



Wingtips are worked over as well. The right, with radar pod mount:



Pod fits OK. Can’t glue it in place until the engine nacelle is mounted (won’t slide over the pod):



Right wingtip:



Wow! Gen-you-ine “oil canning” around the lower tip, just like on the real deal:



I planned that….yeah , that’s the ticket!

Mike
