I couldn't agree more than Anwar that the Fuse work, the Aileron linkage, landing gear are piece of master craftsman!! Kudos!!! Do share the maiden video!

but whats the meterial used edges are smooth finish how is it acheived Title: Re: New Member in my Hanger - FOKKER DR1 Post by: sandeepm on June 19, 2010, 04:42:54 PM Dinil,
this is not paint, but this is colored tape. material - 5mm depron sanding will give any material a very good smooth finish....well here.....i have covered the entire body with transperent 3m tape, edges are sanded for round finish to minimise the drag......

That is an amazing build :salute: and quite an attractive color scheme {:)} as well. You have put a lot of effort in the nose and the results are very rewarding. I bet you should probably get the radium stickers cut for this beauty just like ash did with his yak. It would look beautiful.Waiting for the maiden video.

frankly speeking this is my first built which is neat and clean and only one antena wire is visible external..rest all is resting inside..thanks for the original designer for giving much space inside... Sandeep |
