I am having built for me a Yellow F-18 twin. It will be fitted with 2 turbines. I will try post pics so everyone can see the progress.

That sounds interesting, where do you fly out of? What twins are you going to use on your F18?

nony · 01-14-2005, 08:49 PM

Whoa!!! That would be nice to see.
I've only seen one, and I believe it was powered by a single olympus...don't know if it ever flew or not......

It will have 2 wren type turbines in it. Im in Winnipeg, the northwest is where the field is at. Ive ordered a full set of lights from Paul Hopkins lighting in the USA and I have contacted Promark for a set of 410 Cougar squadron decals. The guys at Promark said they have to scale up their 1/10 th scale to 1/7 th for this one and then give me a price. Unless you guys know of another place to get decals of the quality thar Promark offers.

Which 410 sqn scheme are you looking to do...? I have just gone through the process of making my own 1/8 scale decals for my SM F-18's 20th Anniversary colours...Its time consuming but well worth the effort

....well I am not sure, but it wont be any of the airshow colours like yours....I just want a dirty worn out, greasy Cf-18 in 410 colours and decals...I used to fly into Cold Lake ona civilian bag run early in my career and I thought I would pay some small tribute to the people there by using their colours and name. Yours looks awesome though.

The wing is what we are waiting for..its being built in Texas by a modeller there..he has been told to build it with leadinge flap and drooping ailerons....should be nice....to look at :lol:
