RE: Vailley Tempest Build Thread
G'day alan,
yeah Dave (ticketec) popped around last night for a yarn and to get some rare earth magnets off me, could not find the magnets but we did have a good yarn! Anyway I discussed the fact that we were both having same scheme but as you were in Mel and I'm up here in Brissy should not be a drama.
I have a really good book on the Tempest and there is a passage written by Beaumont where he describes doing a beat up of his airfield during the war, a screaming dive to over 550mph straight across the strip at very low level followed by a sharp pull up and wing over. He goes on to say theat you could keep all your Spitfires and Mustangs and to give him a Tempest anyday - what a plane!!
Detailing is not difficult, and I'm certainly not thatgood at it, I just fiddle about and try to find solutions to problems. Look at a picture and try to work out how to replicate it.
Being a little OCD also helps!! Just ask SWMBO! or SHN ! [:-]
BTW do you have any contacts for 3W donks?
cheers
Peter
