some more

Sandeep, is this a  model built from the Parkjets plans? 

Wow.. the effort gone into the build (especially nose cone of the fuse) seems remarkable    No amount of money can buy the satisfaction derived

Brought back memories of my DR1. Some pics. It was a pilot ARF.

Beautiful bird Tango! Why 'was'? Where is she now?

nice ..... very good plane

Really Really amazing build Sandeep 

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! 

Building nose is the only challenge i found. i have spoiled three sets of nose before mastering the nose build. but the output was realy remarkeable. it changed the entire look of the plane.......i really want to build a planewithout any errors and it took two months to complete this..difficult part was to cut the landing gears and otherwood pieces..next challenge was to put all three wings at a fix position and should be exactly parallel to each other..i tried to make this design fully portable but didnt get way to do......

Sandeep, awesome build. Waiting for the maiden video.....

Thank God, I feared the worst.............
Sujju has gifted me a Guillows Fokker DR 1 kit, and I should be receiving it soon. Can't wait to start building it.

wow cool build love the paint job
but whats the meterial used
edges are smooth finish how is it acheived

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......

Hi Sandeep

That is an amazing build 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.
