Default RE: Watcha Buildin'?

Right now I'm in the middle of "Bashing" and rebuilding a old ARF Seaplane called the League Models Neptune. I have had the plane down to it's bones and I'm highly modifying of customizing it to have seperate flaps and retracts to convert the aircraft into a true amphibian.

It's fun ( NOT ) putting retracts on a plane that wasn't designed for it. It takes a lot of extra plywood supports and bracing inside the wing!

Right now I'm finishing up filling and sanding on the left wing. Hope to start the other right wing next week. I covered most of the plane in Mono Flat Sky Blue and Olive. Planing on making it a Luftwaffe 46' " What If " Amphibian.

The retracts are already working on one of the wings. Right now I'm sanding and smothing the wheel well so the tire doesn't stick on any side of it.
