i was at stuarts house the other evening and saw the fuselage in the flesh, the photo's do not do justice to the quality of the mouldings!, the surface detail is exceptional, i did ask the price but as the saying goes "if you have to ask you can't afford it"! and i couldn't.

About 4000 euros plus jet.

mm that's just for the kit. Add the Jet. Add the retracts. Add the cockpit. plus radio and servos. Oh and don't forget getting a very large box across from Germany.

You wouldn't get much change from £61/2-£7k  Ouch!!

Had a great day building today.

Finished off the 1/2 scale Revolution +Engine run.

All the nose cone, retracts and firewall all positioned.

Forgot the camera so used Stuarts so will download over the w/end.

Tell you what it is so easy to put together, took 2 hrs to do the main wheels and 1/2 day to do all the woodwork and nose wheel.

Engine should be arriving this week. Using a Frank Turbine, from Germany.

That's the nose wheel, it's as easy as that!

Onto the main gear.

Simple enough just screwed in the internal framework that was built in the factory.

Also the ducting, which was a major job positioning.

Last ones for today, some external shots of the detail in the mouldings.

Check out the weld line along the wing tanks.

Steve, looking nice, what scheme are you doing?

Does it need a digi on the steering or did you just have one laying about?

Latest update: Got this bit wrong, used Hitec 645MG for the servo on the nose leg. Not digital.
