Thanks for stopping by guys, appreciate your support B)
I’m looking at the exhausts this morning, believe it or not the engine only seems to be there to hold them in place !?
The instructions are very vague and the pipes themselves look way under sized.
Thinking cap time…

An amorphous blob of vagueness.............. |

Want to know how to spend a fun 90 minutes? Yes? Well look at this..  and try to make this   Don’t forget to hollow out the ends of the pipes as you go with your 0.05mm bit as you go  |

I think exhaust pieces K56, J22 and Z124 are missing because I really think you need more exhaust pieces. LOL! Looks great, Steve.

Ian.. those parts were eaten by the carpet monster cheers Boots buddy No movement here I’m afraid as I’m now covering for two co-works who are off sick. I’ve have full support for one as they are not in a good place at all. The other chose not to have the COVID jab as they ‘didn’t need to if everyone else has had it’ . They now have covid and have been very poorly but I’m finding it difficult to have any sympathy at all, especially after working a 65 hour week. |

Here in Brazil, many people doesn't want to take COVID jabs and many said that "forget" to take the second one... Oh man! Me and Mrs V are counting the days 'till september 10 to take our second Astrazeneca/Oxford jab. About the plane: Great work on the donk! |

Can you just call out sick to work on the Polikarpov?   |
