1/3 scale Sig Spacewalker build

Post by TSuppa » Thu Apr 02, 2020 7:17 pm

Finally received kit on March 19. Ordered in January. I have started building, since I have sheltered in place I have lots of time to work on it. I still have to go to different hospitals everyday to work but my evenings and weekends are spent at home or flying.

Thinking about naming it Covid.

Started on Fuselage. Planning on using a Zenoah G62, so I had to push firewall back slightly.

Thanks the building jigs come from Airfieldmodels.com. I like it much better than the old ceiling tile and pin method.

A little cold in the garage today but I got the top of the fuselage sheeted and cockpit cut out.
