Even at 3000 with pipe and gear finished to a moderate looking paint job its looks like it would be worth a try for many people
What do you guys think the time would be for someone who has many years of experience from start to finish paint on airframe?
I wish there was a smaller version of this, 90 inches or so, it would be worth buying two of them for a lot of people
thx in advance
I've haven't built a plane like this since I was young boy I just received the F 104 with in 3 days I had it all frame up now sheeting it.. It's up to you how long it will take to build and finish it and if I keep doing what I'm doing I'll uncoated by the middle of next month and also I've got a Sabre kit coming as well
