Finally managed to clock some decent flight time with the kites. It used to be that the Jackrabbit and myself crashed the kites before the batteries ran out. Nowadays, we can at least manage a decent landing, strong winds notwithstanding (just no rain please). These nifty things can really take a beating and still continue to fly - a testament to the efficacy of their robust design...drop by here to have a look at what I'm babbling about. Pro3 is the model we've been getting our grubby mitts' on, steering it with an Airtronics RD6000. Came back after clocking the necessary flight hours and hosed me 1/100 Scale Jünchoon ODK down with some kitchen grade Mama Lemon for a weekend build...at least after A & P's wedding this weekend. His Stag Night's due this evening. Can't wait.

Why need to soak the plastics in detergent??
Hi DNC:) Yeah, you'll need to do that to remove the mold release that can impede proper bonding. Also, when you paint, and the stuff isn't properly removed, you'll get strange "textures" along the way that you didn't quite intend to have ;) So better to be safe. Anyway, this is an old kit, detail is quite crude and fit is awful to say the least...but it's the only game in town for its class, so I'll make do :) Keep shootin :) All the best for the upcoming Regatta!
oooo..... i see. so u paint after the whole assmebly or depending on the parts?
Bro said your blog is cool with the nice postcard-like photos.
Hey, thanks :)
Depending on the make, some kits have to be pre-painted, sub-assembly style. Recent offerings by Bandai, especially thier MG line, are a dream. You build em', dismantle em', paint em', and then put em' back together again. The kit engineering is just amazing. You really should have a go at it one of these days, especially the post 2005 kits ;) But between travel and plastic, I'd go travel :P
