Re: HW-4 FLAMINGO 1/4 SCALE
Thank you, Jus... Final stage now: The fuselage will be covered with my diminishing stock of Solartex, primed & painted with 2K paint. (All the 'tex edges are sealed with thin cyano) The flying surfaces will be covered with HK's new translucent clear film, with the appropriate trim...

Re: HW-4 FLAMINGO 1/4 SCALE
to be fair, without colour photos is almost impossible as long as it is painted "in the style of". For the colour scheme I showed in my drawing, I chose the later colour and then converted to B&W and the grey scale colours were almost an exact match, giving reasonable purity on the colours chosen

Very Nice indeed Chris. Now would you like to slow down for a while as I just cant keep up with your production rate.

Re: HW-4 FLAMINGO 1/4 SCALE
I have donated the plan for the 1/4 scale Flamingo to the SSUK website...I believe I have in this model, the Steinadler and hopefully the 1/4 Petrel, hit a 'sweet spot' in design terms: reasonably large sizes, coupled with light wing loadings result in models that are super-safe at low speed, slow & realistic in flight, and capable of feather-light landings even with me at the controls...!
