I know, weak! I hoped to be further along at this point but money has been tighter than I anticipated. Nevertheless, I'm back on track to get building now and expect to have my building materials secured within a few weeks. In the meantime I've been working up a 1:18 scale balsa i550 which should be completed very soon. Looking really nice, can't wait to post pictures of the finished model. After this the real deal begins!</span> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8504369100626286436-3595854360118833922?l=i550heelwhore.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Philiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00747776484315805896noreply@blogger.com3
