Rubber powered Flyline General Aristocrat
Hi all, I've been working on this model on and off for quite some time. Calling it finished now. Stock 1980s kit, no wood replacement, tissue covering, rubber power.

You've made a lovely job of it. It's the two-tone colouring, trim lines, graphics, and scale engine that make all the difference: imagine how ordinary it would look if it were all just one colour.

That's it Wayne! Except I don't keep quite so much crap on the roof. And the canal doesn't always point into wind.

Yep, that's the one Col. I don't have room to build two models at a time!
I took itto the flying aces do at Peterborough but it was too windy to risk flying an un-trimmed model, won a VMC Cessna bird dog kit in the raffle though! (well, Ange did, but I get to play with it)
