The what I am in the middle of building thread.

Most of us start a specific thread for specific builds. It makes projects easier to track.
I thought this was a good idea as a lot of people might not click on Tank or racing car build thread but would like skimming through pics in a Generic thread.Anyway feel free to post yer builds if you like. Love looking at them.

Arghhhhhhh how do I edit the thread title so I can spell building properly ?? DOH !!!
You track down and ask a mod, nicely.

I used to have a generic thread for my builds but in the end decided for neatness to keep each one separate. If a specific build doesn't elicit any interest, fair enough.Anyway feel free to post yer builds if you like. Love looking at them.
This thread is a bit late to capture the build of my R/C RAE Canberra WT333. But I kept a build log on the Facebook page of the real aircraft:

But for those without Facebook, here's a few snaps:

There's a fairly well respected R/C plan designer by the name of Chris Golds, himself an ex-RAF Hunter pilot. In 2004 he released a plan for an 84" span electric powered B(I)8
This was the perfect starting point for me, as my chosen subject was in-fact built as a B(I)8, later being modified by having a B2 nose fitted at the forward transport joint. This was then modified further by the Royal Radar Establishment to include the extended nose for trials work. The 3rd photo in my post illustrates the CAD work I did to modify his plan to suit my model. Anything in grey is to Chris' drawing, brown is my mod.
In doing that, I had to create some 3D geometry to make the B2 canopy to fit the revised airframe. From the 3D model I printed a plug that was then painted and polished to allow vac-form. The radome was also 3D printed.
I hope that answers your questions?
