This is a fun build, I think the best part is smelling all the old parts. As you can see I have a few projects going on right now. The Space Shuttle is comming along, but I am still working on the Orbitor. The Guillow kit is a Focke Wulf FW 190.

Well it is a Guillow kit, so it may take a rocket engine to make it fly.....................I sanded the shuttle today and I need to add a little more filler then off to prime. This kit was so old that all the plastic was warped and the nose was crushed. I applied a little heat to make it straight and been re building the nose. All in all it is slowly coming along. It won't be perfect but should look ok..

I have successfully built & flown a LOT of R/C aircraft in the past and everytime I tried building one of those little "Guillows" rubber-powered jobs it wound up being a heavy, warped, unflyable mess no matter what adhesives/covering were used.
Most of the wood in them is dry, brittle, heavy junk that would need to be used as templates only on some decent light balsa.
