    I ordered tempered glass. They put a chamfer around the edges and maybe a slight bevel. I will use the same company again. And I will pay for delivery.

    Scale Mick Reeves 1/3 scale Tiger Moth

    Imagine, if you will, correctly cut parts, AND some build photos. Why i could shave years off my build. Sooooo many parts were cut incorrectly on my Cub kit..... This kit looks more like an assembly vs a true build thread. My RCAAIR Nelitz Cub kit had many incorrect parts and with only...

    Cleared a work table today. I ordered table top glass a few years ago and the glass company strongly recommended a full table sized piece of glass. Unfortunately they were correct. This Tiger Moth fuse is 8+ feet long. I will eat my mistake and order a full table sized piece of glass.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The bleed though is Polybrush that soaked through the fabric. Getting rid of those spots would require diluting through the fabric I think you are saying. Nothing serious, I just need to watch my applications.

    Might be time..... Time to clear a work table. My 22yr old son had worked on this Kadet MKII since he was 8(?). He's graduating this spring, getting married this fall, getting his own place this summer/ fall. I could use the space...... He gets in the mood occasionally.
