There are no pix!

I stand corrected!

I like the bowl of parts.

Looking forward to the build.

I also have the Bee-Gee, I will look at your progress as a guide for my build. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Buffalowings. downloaded the zip file. That is the larger version I believe, with the more detailed engine and cockpit. That is the one I have somewhere in my files along with the smaller versions. The last page also gives sites for more reference materials.

I will still look at your build with interest. As you know, we modelers sometimes come up with new ideas and concepts. I am notorious for adding and changing some details on my models.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks Boose, I am not building right now because this is family time with the grand-kids but I will be back with a vengeance with a list of models to do, this will be one of them but I will not do a build thread. I will post only small details here and there to augment the instructions.

guys, I made a bit of progress, I assembled the rings that make up the fuselage, but now I wish I had bought the laser cut frames as well, they would have made it so much easier

Just a blast from the past - Experimental Aircraft Association might still be looking for a 1/33 GB for a display at Oshkosh. Ping David at sakrison[at]charter[dot]net for details.

Ditto Don - like the bowl.

I am at a standstill right now, used up all my xacto blades, going to get some soon
