The only beef I have is that fiberglass fuselages aren't available for most of these kits. It would be a real time saver. Skip
Hi Skip,

I have at last retrieved the fibreglass Taurus from the attic! I had to wash the mould off it and it's certainly deteriorated over the years, must be something to do with the cold damp climate over here in the UK! The model was built with a swept back wing similar to the one in the May 2006 AMA magazine page 32. The model never used to be all red but a few years ago I started to refurbish it and then lost interest and it went back into the attic. The orange fuselage is a 'virgin' one straight out of the mould. It's in pretty poor condition but with a little work it could be ok. I'm hoping Deadstick is going to run a thread on making a mould from the Interceptor fuselage so that I can have a go at making a mould from one of these old Taurus fuselages. I put the old engine back in it for the photograph which I'm sure you'll all recognise.

Enjoying your thread on the 'Primus,' great job Skip.
