Default RE: UFO 25 - Planning

Happy new year to all!

After some delay at the cutters, the UFO 25 development stage is complete. Yes, the laser kit is ready!

I am quite happy with the outcome of the plans and kit but like always, there is a first prototype plan, kit and build. Master builder Ralph (R_G) has offered to do a build thread on the first prototype model and I may interject some images of my own (if I'm be able to keep up with his build schedule) for comparison purposes. My build will be from a very similar kit to his - minor differences will be detailed as the build progresses. In essence, a glow and electric version of the kit was produced to cater to each type of power plant. The electric version should build somewhat lighter due to some lighter sheet stock used - primarily fuse sides, top and vertical. Wings and stabs in both versions are identical.

Those who expressed interest in a kit will be receiving it shortly.

A few pics of the kit:
