wow now theres a lesson when i went on google last night to check the markings there where lots of info about it refering it as part of the aussi squadrons, when i search for zp-r the markings on the model i have it brings up A58- somthing cant exactly remember but when i search for A58-717 which is what is n the tail it again comes up with somthind different but both numbers that give both planes identification where both australian. now im not sure why this is but i really whant it to go back out into the air with its origional markings.
secondly whern removing the decals the paint underneath with silver and the outer uncovered parts are faded a slightly dirty green. now would this spit have been silver?,
all in all i find that the plane is very scale looking regarding the fuselage but the wings rib section is not that of a normal spit id normaly find this wing rip secton used itn a 3d model which made me wonder i bet this could be real fun to fly.

So far i have managed to seperate the fuselage from the wing (nightmare), was able to remove the metal fuel tank which on the outside was imaculate but upon opening to check condition of thi inside found out it was very rusty.
managed to clear allot of the damaged sheeting away and gone further back accross the center of the wing to be able to refit new wing sheeting but also to add strength. every rib on the damaged wing from the center to the start of wing rib 2 has been damage and will need replacing. thats a taotle of 5 ribs that need recuting and fiting then the other wing requires 2 being patched up as there slightly crumpled from misshandling the plane. iv cleared the broken spar from the center to the damaged area. need to work out how far im going to replace the spars into the undamaged section f the broken wing. decided im going to extend the wing brace about 2 inch to be able to support the repaired area.

fusealage one side is severaly damaged and will need fully rebuilding from behind the cockpit right back to the tail, the other side is broken off were the fin starts. iv srtarted to clear balsa wood on the damaged side and is now siting with a great big arrow cut in the side of the fuselage spreading over 2 formers(why) because i can cut the new side to sit into the arrow and there be allot more area of gluing surface to make a nice strong repair and the formers there will help hold it and make it like new. a friend of mine on here told me to lengthen the tail slightly as it seemed too short which i think he is correct so il be lengthening it by 2 inch max. i also have to repair where i had to cut out the fuel tank. aswell as take some photos and i think il keep the rebuild on here for you guys, Just a shame im not making it control line but i guess i might be the first to make this paticular design rc il be back on tonight and il put some photos up to show you the progress but the progress will be slow as im in the process of building a large workshop for the modelling as my girlfriend is geting tyred of triping over models and parts and so forth
