Default RE: I've got some GREAT ideas that I could send out...

Thanks guys! I used Plastruct strips, 3 different sizes and also some corrugated sheet for the control surfaces. It's not exact scale but then the plans aren't either. I spent a small fortune on the strips.....John, I definitely don't recommend doing it this way.

The corrugation is done. It was a labor of love, a long process, strips glued end to end. I just have a few more pieces of the greenhouse canopy to finish and then a few odds and ends and it's time for paint.

The door will open in flight and paratroopers will literally be flung out.

I had a specific paint scheme in mind but I just saw that someone has done it already on another forum. I might go with my original plan which was the Ju-52 from the movie,"Where Eagles Dare", a winter camouflage scheme.

It's a great flying airplane......John, keep us posted on your progress.....
