Title: New Petra. pics.
Post by: Allen Goff on February 26, 2011, 03:46:51 PM
My new ship in primer, PA 75 pipe. Lost foam wing, Morris controls, still thinking about the color and graphics. Going to Roger Wildmans tonight and weight it on his,"official Indiana scales". More later.

Very nice work, Allen.

As slick as that primer looks, it should be a "looker" when painted!
(what are you using for primer?)

Very cool looking model, and the fine craftsmanship is obvious. May it fly as well as it looks!  :)!

Lookin' smooooooooooooooooth pardner!  Too bad we won't have the time for our mid-winter get together, I could maybe rant a little bit over it in person.  Hey, let us know the weight and tell Rog "HI!"

You can take the writer out of the West, but... wait. How's that go?

Nice, indeed, and that area ruling will help if you ever get dirt in the spraybar of that .75.

Very sleek looking plane Allen. But then we kind of expect that from you. Paint it purty.

I like gray, but some color would be good.   LL~

Looks really great. Very slick.

Will, it came in at 61oz. with all hardware attached. I hope to wet sand maybe 1 to 2 oz of primer off.
Primer is Brodak white with a little black for color.

Model looks great - I like the design and styling ques really stylish - Randyesque ..... with your own flavor.

61 is a fine weight.. for any ship..

But somehow .. it looks familiar....... and I dont know where Ive seen..........

I dunno, Mike, that's the color scheme on my old Ruffy - dare he copy one of MY ships?  Might destroy his reputation!
