Picked up 5 SDI kits from EBay a few weeks ago. Finished 2, the Gyro Nomo and Phalanx, when it occurred to me that I should do a build thread of one to highlight some unique aspects of these designs.
l, Gyro Nomo
r, Phalanx
So this is build 3, the Vr-T-Go.
Header card, instructions
Parts
The kits have interesting laser etched designs on the body which I didn't want to cover up with paint. I tried using Sharpies on the first two builds but the color was too strong. So I tried using an orange highlighter on this one, with much better results
First the winglets are laminated with plywood overlays
And put under a weight to dry overnight without warping
And the main body was assembled, rubber banded and left to dry overnight
