Joining the Hellcat Revolution!!
I will be starting a build on the Ziroli Hellcat soon. Don't know if you want to see another build thread since there has been so many great builds on here. Sam Parfitt's and Mirce's comes to mind. Both great craftsman. Let me know.
I will be doing an all balsa and ply build, will be ordering the full kit from National Balsa. Power will be Zenoah GT 80, Robart 150 HD retracts. I'm in the process of gathering accessories to start. Probably a week or two since I'm finishing up a Yellow Spitfire build.
All input is welcomed.
Thanks,
Fred Menna Check6

Hi Mirce,
Thanks for checking in. I have reviewed your thread a number of times. I will be ordering your rivet and detail set when the time comes. GREAT IDEA! Love to watch real craftsman at work.

Hi Sam,
Glad you checked in. I have watched all of your builds through the years and never seem to tire of your explanations and the way you construct your masterpieces. If mine turns out close to your builds I will be very happy. Feel free to add your vast knowledge of wood working to the thread.
Hi Peter,
Glad you are following along.
Hey Tony,
Can't believe I sold the cockpit kit and paint I had for this project. This sold before I decided to go through with the project. Go figure. LOL
Anyway I can use the money to get accessories for the build. I will install a minimal cockpit but it will still look good.
Now about that trade you want to do. You know the one I'm talking about. LOL
Later,
Fred
