I shall be building a Shorts Skyvan courtesty of Alex (Ack190).
Its a 70s boxing and the decals suppiled are for the Oman Air Force and Olympic.
I shall however be doing a bit of what iffery with this kit but not as extensive as what Jesper did to his Danish Skyvan. |

I shall be starting this post SMW.
Although not an aircraft, I have been building its load or airfield protection vehicle.

| I have made a start on this one, glueing major sub assemblies together and assembling the interior. Pictures to follow. |
| Unusual |
| Wow, I have never seen that kit, very unusual, looking forward to seeing it's progress. |

| It can be interesting get the fuselage lined up square. |
| Civil Aircraft 2009 - thomasweir\'s Skyvan |
Good luck with your fuselage!
I thought it was a tough job on my Skyvan.
And use PLENTY of weight in the nose.

Thanks Jesper. There's not much space for weight  Most probably use a bit of milliput, It sets like concrete. Well mine does  |

| I used small fishing weights wrapped in Milliput in my Lightning and Do335. |

| Jesper you were right about the fuselage. Its a right pain but with lots of masking tape and clamps its looking all right. I got it square at least. |

Some build shots.
