    Semroc SLS Brighton Build

    I got the Brighton during the Semroc Christmas Sale.

    I think Carl challenged himself to see if he could use one of each Semroc part number in a kit.

    It's a great quality, easy to build kit. I used all epoxy on this one. Paint will happen when the weather breaks.

    This looks like a great kit; I've been collecting parts for an upscale Ranger / Bertha, and this fits the bill on both counts! It is great having birds that have a variety of motor combos, like this and the SLS Laser-X. With basswood TTW fins, this ought to easily handle F motors. What paint scheme are you planning? And when will these go off back-order?

    Well I got my Brighton pretty much knocked out. Very nice kit that is a typical high quality product from Semroc. It would be better if you just purchased the motor mounts that you wanted, but I guess it's cool having them all. I'm going to pick one of the classic schemes, just not sure which one yet.

    Looking good John. I'm still on weather (and decal) hold with the paint.
