Looking good :thumb2:
Try painting the cardboard with a PVA water mix - it'll strengthen it up no end when dry

Hi Gery , thanks for the advice I just head to Bunning they have plenty of small boxes I can make into a dissent cradle. Tony

I am all ready to go to make a start on putting the landing gear motor into the cradle, first have line up a wire cable through the motor to the landing gear, going to be fun.

That will be tomorrow afternoons job

The spitfire latest update pics , it was a challenge putting it the gears for the landing gear and that wire was a pain I ended up just screwing the screw in a bit then put th wire in and tighten up bingo worked.

I have decider to modify the cradle for the plane to sit strengthen the middle and sides, work on that project for the next few days ready for neext fortnights mag parts which is the starboard wing aileron panels.
