CorFlute Build Photos
Home Made retract module
Retract module mounted onto C/F wing struts
Basic assembly
Gondola fitted off with first draft canopy

Paint time - I was going for something similar to this but the available selection was limited (no olive drab).
Invasion stripes double as attitude indicators (which side is up)
Re-vamped canopy - closer to scale.
At the field - some glory shots
Home Made Retracts - so far have proved reliable.
