Beginning and End

Well, the past couple of days have been pretty exciting! After seven months of work I have finally completed my 1/48 scale CH-53E from HMT-302. The model has received a lot of attention and In my opinion it is my best model to date.


The in progress thread on ARC is located here.
Pictures of the completed model are located here.

Another major milestone tonight was the running of my father's Hit and Miss engine. It was exciting to see the engine turn from a box of metal on the front porch into a working machine!

A video of one of the first engine runs here.

Now, for the beginning! We've started work on my new Raven wings! So far we've made the boards for the lower wing rib jigs and we will soon be assembling the lower ribs!
