:shock: :shock: :shock:

May be further delay. Rotek have a some "upgrades" which they are keen to do (free of charge) but we will need to $hip the engintjie back to them to do... Couple other developments on the project may require that this is done...

Silver doped the fus and gatveertjies. :D Camera let me down big time, so unfortunately no pics. :cry: We are far along with the wings. Had to remove the WHOLE leading edge of BOTH wings. Things went slaaaaiiitly out of sequence somewhere. :wink: Anyway, thing now going back together in the right sequence. :roll: It is now seriously starting to look like an aerie. Alas, no colour sceme has yet been decided on. any help?? Anyone?? :D

Oom Boet.

I like this combination of colours. I would make the red deeper and it will need a bit of tweeking as wings and Gatveere will be in red rather than white, but I laaaik it - Gold spinner en all. :twisted:

Mmmmm. So what`s RV to say about this?? Personally I think the gold looks a little "vaal". The red will go better with a royal blue, black or a dark red secondary trim colour. Red and white aeries are allways nice looking. :D
