CAC FAC.. sounds better phonetically I reckon

A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

nice uncle.. the fin looks a bit anaemic to me as well, a bit too tapered at the top maybe what a delightful acquisition a 1/32 little eagle would be!

Might not be sharp enough at the top/rear of the rudder, but it lines up with the plans I'm using.

The main area I have to fix is the nose, the interface between the fuselage and the cowl - bit of a gap- which will be hidden if modelled with the cowls opened... (that's the next one...)

..and then there's the undercarriage...

(the list goes on.. ;) )

Brilliantly shot photos again, mate. I'm equally impressed with your scratch building skills too. Well done.
