Kolibri 282 V6

Post by digger303 »

Well everyone this is the product of much cursing and disappointment mostly in myself. I mucked up the rotors and blades mostly and got the fuselage out of wack which cascaded to other parts of the build and most of the bought PE wouldn't fit. Never the less it looks the part.

I thought I was finished, but I left something off didn't I. The last pic shows it installed, but I just need to smear a little paint around the edge later tonight.

Makes 2 finished Scott :nena:

    I must have missed the build thread for this. :(
    Either way, I think that's a great example of an interesting subject. Fantastic finish.
