| John Cooper | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 01-Sep-09 23:10 |  | | Views : 2395 | | I have started to cover the model with tissue that has details printed on it from a laser printer.

| John Cooper | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 23-Aug-09 22:47 |  | | Views : 2500 | | The supplied canopy was pretty disappointing which is unfortunate as this is really the most valuable part of the kit. It comes in 2 pieces that need to be glued on the center line. The plastic is also thick and heavy at 3.6g. I am going to form my own canopy. |
| John Cooper | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 23-Aug-09 22:43 |  | | Views : 2418 | | I cut out the center of the plastic cowl and inserted a balsa disk. The disk has a photo of a Wright Cyclone glued to it. |
