Hello Alan, Again, you have looked into my build and I thank you for your comments, Alan as I have said before, this kit just falls together with very little adjustment after building balsa kits for years this is a dream.

Hi Alan, Thanks for your reply, hope you have had a good weekend building your Sovereign, I no that when I start my build I will look to yours (up to 86) now my problem is that I seem to stray away from the official build the only trouble with that is you never finish of your build, that you will see on my next Victory post. Thanks for looking Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi All, Update Pack 9 Stage 32/39. As you can see from the pictures above there was not a lot to do this month. 1 Plastic Tube. 1 Joystick. 1 Tailfin Stabiliser. 1 tailfin. Rt/Lt Stabiliser. 12 wooden Strips. The only part I could work with this month was the plastic tube the rest must be for future Packs. So on to the build I have managed to complete both wings mainly to fit all wing reinforcements, if you are about to reach this stage look for the cut out's in the wings and try for sizing. On to the next part that was to sand down both wings so there are no bumps, this I find very important as we will be placing metal plates on to them, I just have this image in my head of an uneven surface, anyway it took me about 3 hour's a wing to sand it by hand get it to where I think it is acceptable. The way I sanded the wings was to get a large piece of wood and stick two grades of sandpaper rough and smooth (smooth at the top).Here few pictures for you to look at.     Waiting for Pack 10 this should have the free light kit with it. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Andy, Thanks for the looking in, not sure where this one will end up the wife's full of comments, I think I will make a wood and glass case and store it away. (I wonder what other modellers do and where they put them). Regard Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Steve, Thank you for your reply, sorry about the delay in the update but the amount of work in the last Pack to me was not worth an update let's hope Pack 10 will improve, looking forward to seeing the light set which has been promised with it.
