Still waiting...............

Sometime long ago I gave a complete control line Sterling Nieuport 28 kit to a member here with the provision that he document the build on this forum. I paid the go-to postage myself.

I'm still waiting to see it. Selfish perhaps as I love the model and would like to see someone other than me bring it to life. I still have a couple more un-built N-28 kits but my hands shake so badly that stick builds for me are out of the question.

Come-on, build it and share.

I'm finishing one of the C-series PT-17. I have to complete the window frames for the windshields and some odds and ends but it's pretty much complete. A lot of work goes into these kits, especially the covering of the fuse. Ken

rsv1cox,

If you want to to try again, my building board is ready to go. Today I just finished up framing my 44" Sterling Tri Pacer kit FS37. What a challenge. Some terrible wood, inaccurate fitting pieces, ugg ! Also my Sterling Corsair kit FS36.

I can do a detailed build with lots of pictures.

Nothing like a challenge Matt. Sometimes putting together these old kits can be a trial. But I do love that Tri-Pacer.

My Sterling Corsair was partially built when I found it at a consignment shop. The builder had started it as an R/C model and I continued it that way. I was not going to cut into the completed fuselage to put in a C/L bell crank.
