This is how it looked before the move.
Radome assembled and test fitted
And then....
..to get it to fit into a box
Now the reassembly has started
SOme antennas need to be remade as they did not survive the trip over.

This is a resurrected build as it was 'deconstructed' for my move to South Australia

Cheers Paul, great to see you.

As long as you have fun then that's all that matters. Trophies are a bonus

The big, ol E-3 is looking good Ray.
Don't worry about trophies mate....at least you had some models on the tables (which is much more than what I can say), and, form what I could see, they were bloody nice.
PS: It was good catching up with ya.

After some sanding it was once again primed
In blue! I have lots of spare paint in odd colours so I thought I would use these instead of the usual primers. Some more putty has gone on.
It is close to reinstalling the blade antennas that were knocked off and wing tip HF antennas

Time to spend some more time on the E-3.
Primed in a more appropriate colour, and broken/missing antennas refitted.
Also checked the fit of the rotodome and supports. Had some issues with the support breaking, but it s now reglued and setting again.
