Hi ProScaleRc, your Cub looks great. Did you cut the door in and make it work? It looks like it would open. I was thinking of doing that on mine and then started to think about looseing strength. I've got the 1/3 BUSA S Cub kit to build and figured to scale it out more. The bigger they get, the easier it is to work with.
Thanks for sharing your Cub.

Hi Mark,
No it's a fake door. I was also worried about the strength of the airframe, so I just cut out the forward window strut, but kept the inner and painted that black so it's not noticeable. I made the door from architect's plastic, added a handle and fake hinges, and presto. It fits in nicely with the forward fuse aluminium sheeting and rivets. For this I used some 0.5mm aluminium sheeting I found at the local hardware store and some Dubro size 1 Allen-head button screws.
Just after taking these photos I added screws to the front windscreen using .01 model railway screws.
I'll take some more photos in a few weeks. I started installing the OS 1.60 last weekend. Doesn't look as pretty as the Black Knight, but it'll fly great and the smoker will look fantastic.
Cheers,
James
