Well at last my tubes are here, not really true, they are at the post office as my carrier would not leave them on my porch. Anyways, I have all the plastic parts for the clone and will have the tubes in hand after work so I can get started on this puppy.

I printed the decals a few weeks ago, and have the laser files for the fins and rings ready to go so I will get started on this on Sat.
I got the plastic parts from Moldin Oldies and they are very good parts. Just some minor filling and sanding is all they will need. I would expect this even in a new big name kit.

I went a bit ape on the tube order, should have enough tubes to last a good 5 years or more.

The only thing I really need to get is some .055 card stock for the baffle and centering rings. Anyone know a source for this type of card stock?



Pics of the build will be coming as soon as I get started on it.

Hans
