You got your hands full on this one.
Is the below deck sealed or you have to redo it?

Thank You John:
The old picture you found shurley helped you a lot.
The same thing happened to me when I was building my Sub Chaser.
I found a bunch of realy good old pictures considering that they where from 1914.
Those pictures helped me create a bunch of extra detailed parts.
Here is a sample.

John:
The model it looks like museum piece.
Great work.
What scale is it? I ask because Iโm looking for 1/24 seamen figures but what I have found is not that great.

Everything indicates that YES there is some kind of lockdown with China internet just like Doug mentioned.
I still donโt understand how China can do that since there is so many ways that people from any part of the world can communicate with just about anybody else.

Thank You Mรบnich for all your help.
Now I fell more confident knowing that I can use the radio I have.
I did come with a 6 channels receiver but I will consider your advise.

Also I have been having droughts about what radio to use since there is so much rules and regulation about what frequency to use here in USA.
I have a Flysky FS-i6 but since Iโm a newbie, I donโt know if I could use it.
Here are the specs.
What radio are you using?

Hey Doug, you might be correct on all of your statement.
Itโs just unbelievable how simple things can turn bad from one day to another.
Letโs hope that somehow Chuck could drop us a few words by any means he can find.

Does anybody know if Chuck is doing OK?
It's been a while since he posted his last notice about the upcoming barge kit.
I have sent him private mesages but without any answers.

๐ Juanita inverted ventilation pipes
1 month ago by
๐บ๐ธ chugalone100 (

Lieutenant)

Hi Chuck.
Iโm almost finished with the painting of the model and parts but run into a dilema.
My model brought 6 inverted vent pipes with caps but according to your designs, itโs supposed to be just 1 (one) ventilator w/cap and 2 (two) without cap on port and the same goes for the starboard.
My kit is missing the 4 (four) inverted ventilators without cap.
I also found this picture of another Juanita and has what my kit is missing.
Correct me if I am wrong, please.

Hager:
When I went through your work done and I saw your gyrocopter, I got shills running up my spine.
Iโm 69 now but when I was 32 I almost bought one myself, but instead, I used the money to get myself my pilot license.
After flying for a few years I went ahead and got my skydiving license.
So, your gyrocopter brought back lost of memories.
Thank You for posting those pictures.

Nick, that sounds interesting because I didnโt know they had a flag.
I thought it was the state flag.
It will be great to see a close up picture of it.
