My pleasure my friend!

Oops, if I'm going to talk about my list, I'll wait until tomorrow and it won't end

Thanks Ted.

I admire your persistence and determination Péricles. I would have gone on to something else with a revisit of the failed project planned for later on. Much later on!

I'm with Garry, I would have given up. Looking forward to seeing the Herc done.

I usually do this my friend! When something goes wrong I leave it on the shelf and sometimes it takes me years to get back to it, but as we say in Brazil: "I got it right" with Hercules.

Thank you Brent, construction continues, today I finished the general construction of the plane going to the nacelles, but there is still a lot to do, the Hercules will certainly be completed next week.

Well friends, with the project restarted we built the central section of the wing again, now with some learning, it was much better than the first version and very close to the photos in Bruno's guide. The only difference is that I separated the wings in the central piece on top of the wing and glued a second piece to hide the crack, for me and my limitations the construction was more manageable.

We prepared the nose, I added weight again and this time I used EVA (foam) to attach the lead fishing balls. In addition to helping to stiffen the nose, it fixes the weight on it.

We installed the tail without any major difficulties, I just made some reinforcements with CA glue. The general assembly is finished, now we will move on to the inside nacelles.













Updates soon...

Oh Gomide. Apologize to the people that dont speak portuguese, but...

"que saudades, meu amigo"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see that you continues active in modeling. And here you are in home, defimitely. New models, new mounting, boldly going where one has gone mounting before... Sorry by the bad joke, you know, i'm a fool man, and I like being like that (I salute the google translate).

This one looking more promising Pér!

Well done Pericles!

I did my testbuilt on an uncolored recolor (Austrian Air Force) I will do some correction on the front windows and then continue the recolor furthermore I did something wrong on the bottom of the first two cockpit sections
