You never stop to amaze us with your fantastic tips, my friend @kalamazoo!

I have never seen this plane before, Allan (@kalamazoo), so I am looking forward to seeing it done.

I had forgotten about some of the differences of the Prince from the Pembroke, the main one being the nose, also the tips of the stabilizers, so here we go with a few mod's, all good fun !

Starting to look great, Allan @kalamazoo
Looking forward to the corrections.
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 years ago:

Nice "correcting" jobs, my friend @kalamazoo!

Thanks John, -------------
Thanks spiros, ------------------
hoping the nose job comes out OK.
Allan J Withers said 3 years ago:
A bit of extension to the tail planes and I almost forgot to add weight to the front, a few layers of sheet lead to start with !

1. a more rounded tip.
1. layers of lead sheet.
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 years ago:

Nice scratch-built extensions, my friend @kalamazoo!
Nice positioning of the lead weights!
John vd Biggelaar said 3 years ago:

Great scratch build work, Allan @kalamazoo
That lead should do the job to keep her nose down.
George R Blair Jr said 3 years ago:

Nice catch, Allan (@kalamazoo). This would definitely be a tail-sitter without some weight. Sometimes I get excited to move on to the following steps and forget the weights in the rush to move forward. Hard to fix after.
Allan J Withers said 3 years ago:
Thanks Spiros, the more forward the better, --------------
Thanks John, this and a bit more, --------------
Thanks George, it would be, it can be tricky to add the lead later ! ----------
Vengeance --------- the fuselage halves did not match well !

1. filling, sanding.
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 years ago:

Looking great, my friend @kalamazoo!
Yep, some filling and sanding!
John vd Biggelaar said 3 years ago:

Very smooth sanding results, Allan @kalamazoo
