Default The Seventh Chadwick

The 7th Chadwick is nearly done and I thought you might like to see a preview. I have not yet set the CG, she seems to be nose heavy. I may have to moves something aft, but that is better than the other way. The control surfaces for the ailerons and the flaps have not been set. Engine run-up found the port engine acting up. I think I know what the cause is. Rudder and Elevator adjusted easily and are set.

You will notice that I have taken some liberties with history. I am sure they did not use Gloss Black! The nose is painted with a "Day-Glow" red. The tail numbers etc. are white because the red decals faded into the black and were not visible. I have the machine guns and turrets but looking at the model I began to think that we have seen enough machine guns in my life. I may leave them off.
