A NEW ARRIVAL IN THE CYPRUS HANGER

My Jetlegend SU27 Flanker arrived from China today, i will do a build blog when i fit it together
we dont seem to have any turbines on here
It came boxed in thick cardboard then a layer of 1/8 ply then another thick cardboard box exccelent packing with no damage to anything.

When I bought a Chinese kit, it came in a thick card box, wrapped in bubble, and that was inside another box made of a plastic skin, then polystyrene, and a skin on the inside, too.
All the parts were bagged separately, and the bags taped into the box, so nothing could move.

ah! should have been some pics with that post

Something to be said for some of these artf things Mick, but there is a hell of a lot of work to do on this one before it is ready.
And iv not long ago got off the the Wot 4 trainer so no hurry.
oooo but it's a nice plane, i was going to build one from scratch, there is a guy in Italy dose a plan for the SU27.
Then i saw one of these and !!!!

Took the bubble wrap of today

Took the bubble wrap off today








it looks even better
Bigger than the SR71 in fact it will not go in the box without removing the fins

Having a lot of problems with my very small hanger and the plane's are getting bigger!!, thing are getting damaged so iv made a model rack to try and prevent it




The base of each model stand is a storage area for the wings of the model plus a lot more things.



It is on large casters so i can wheel it in and out of the space to give me access to the rest of the modeling gear in there

Neat idea, BB. You might consider putting some edges around those platforms, to stop the fuselages from rolling off the shelves when you move the frame.

Im going to put some ply circles with the middles cut out under the wheels that will stop them, although its been in and out a few time and nothing has moved
im also fitting a 15mm ply wing12" long each side the protect the tailplane of the Cap 232, it overhangs the base by 2 -1/2" each sidejust go's in the doorframe
made the base width to fit a sheet 1240mm x2440 of ply, 610mm wide and the full length
The only problem is there is nowhere to store the A10 Thunderbolt and the Spitfire when they are built,no more room, AND DONT MENTION CRASHING SOME OF THE EXISTING ONES

Are there two jets in that Flanker Tony?

Hi Klipy yes there are two, im putting two Jetcat 100 re,s in it, i bought two together so i can get the factory to match them, it is aways the best way so i was told, the Flanker is a beauty cant wait to get at it and see it fly but have to find out what im doing with turbine first and learn how to fly so no rush
Famous last words :dry:

Started to collect bits and pieces for the Su 27
This arrived today


Its a receiver that has two power supplies and four satalite receivers plugged into it
Skint now :huh: :huh: :huh:

Go on, bet you dare not tell us how much :lol: :woohoo:

I think we will have a competition to guess the cost of it and the winner can pay for it sounds good to me

£350, hope I am wrong
