	Here are the wings and Fus the covering is a lovely matt colour and with very subtle camoflage The yellow wings are from a Carl Goldberg cub.

	Here are the rest of the major parts and your eyes are not deceiving you, yes that is a manual. The clear parts to the left of the rudder are the parts for the lower scoup and dummy engine cylinders. I will post some build photos as soon as I finish my Fiesler Storch

	There are some weird letters on the side which looked strangly out of place. Whats the OY all about Then a little research later Could that OY be part of a Danish Reg number, This is OY-ECV at Goteborg airshow and below the digital version of plane for Flight Sims I think someone made a boo boo. Note the invasion stripes dont go around the underside of the fuselage, I'll have to get the stripped paint out

	I couldnt wait and put the Storch to one side. The inside is painted black and around the windows are bare wood so I started painting them a more suitable green. Humbrol Acrylic Green 5030 matt is a good match. I also started adding the stripes to the bottom of the fus

	I didn`t realise how nice that plane is until I saw these pictures. That made me to make up my mind about my next plane
	No God will tell me how to live, I have a wife for that...

	Yup, the plane looks nice, thanks for the pics Snappy! This ARF seems a very good candidate for a kitBash and to make it quite a nice sports scale.
	A minimal technical knowledge is required for this hobby; please ensure you know the differences between up and down.

	Mustang can you fix your signature, it contains a tautology which I find upsetting.

	I attacked the elevator hinges the ones in the kit are the CA type which I am wary of particulary on a 20cc model, so I have used pivot hinges the ones in the photo are not great quality and will be replaced with Pivot & Round Hinges 2.5x48 (10pcs/set) These are on the site and have metal pins. DONT GLUE THE HINGES UNTILL THE TAILPLANE IS GLUED INTO THE FUS SLOT And I painted the stripes on the bottom (If any body needs missing invasion stripes painted let me know) Fatman you know I mean you!
