Der Red Sidewinder build....

[NJRick]

Paul,
I am sorry I missed this thread..I was out last weekend...my son and I traveled to Indianapolis to watch his Colts play the Seahawks...what a great game! She turned out beautiful!! just gorgeous!!

THe nosecone is now done and pin striped with screws added.I had to place the screws on the nosecone base as they did not fit on top of the skulls where they belong ,the canard fins caused this space restriction.

Well regardless, if I can do it, I KNOW you can! And by the way, when you're shopping for a lathe, I HIGHLY recommend you only look at variable speed models.

Looks like we may be waiting until next spring, too. We need rain, and bad!

Yes, variable speed is on my list, thanks for that Jim !

When the time comes, I`ll probably contact you via PM.

I need heat and bad LOL !

The farmers had record crops again this year in my Province (Manitoba) ,and the summer was great and the Autumn was very nice.

We are just now getting into the pre-winter chill ,so snow may happen any time.

I know the painting season is done ,and that`s a shame, as I had one more project I wanted to complete (Madcow FG 4"/5.5" Honest John) but may have to wait.I got the primer on and all the "detail bits" added ,just needs Flat Olive Drab ,gloss, Stickershock decals (need to order custom stuff) and back to flat.

I`m hoping I can get to our shop at work and finish it at our large welding bench ,but I need one of the foreman to let me in on a Saturday /Sunday for two ,2 hour sessions.

It may take bribe money, but It`ll be worth it.

I'm not sure how you come up with all these ideas, but simply put, AMAZING. Beautiful job.

Thanks Ken !

Building the Estes version was good fun and a great flyer ,so I thought it would be fun to do a scratch build of another ,but a little different ,so I came up with this version.Besides ,I like Sidewinder missiles ,and this was a good opportunity to try something with that missile look.

Now I need to wait until spring to fly it unfortunately.

Take care
