LF-109 Pionyr. Might get te motivation to finish and start anew

[GunnyK.]

I have been sitting on a two year old project because of time. I just unfortunately got laid-off of my job of seven years so I may finish my 1/12 model proof of my LF-109 and than continue with the full size of 1/6. I've been sitting on this a while and do have the fuse finished but need to build the wings. Now is the time to complete it I guess. So that is two projects in the works.

Post some pictures if you can. We like seeing stuff! Sorry 'bout the job.

I am not sure what my limits are in uploads so I will do it in sections

Here are some more.

This is how far I am at this point.

Thanks for posting pictures. The workmanship is very nice!

I am building one also. Fuselage ready for final sanding. Tail feathers ready to sand. Wings on the board about half done.

[GunnyK.]

Are you building from, plans, scratch, or one of the available kits or short kits?

[Csessa]

I am building from a full kit out from BLL Models. I made a few mistakes due to lack of documentation but it is coming along ok. The kit is quite complete. 2 meter if I remember right.

[GunnyK.]

I am familiar with the BLL kit. At one time, early on, I also thought about it. I just found it to be much to inaccurate for my taste and the construction to "primitive" It is a bastardized (modernized) adaptation of the old "Modelar" magazine plan. I have that plan and used it for the outline and dimensions. Otherwise I just figured that doing my own design will suite me much better. If it would have been the full 2.25m span of the original "Modelar" plan I would have given it serious consideration.

[Csessa]

Not enough skill or time to do my own design. Wish I could. I agree construction is a little old school but it is laser cut and the parts fit well. May get back to it later this week.

Conio! You're holding out on us! No build thread?!
