ty for the kind words guys, will leave i like it is now and have screwed it down, so technically the TL is finished :)
Now I have the scratch body bug.. after viewing the efforts by some of the other blokes. Dammit! ( I was going to make a new body for the old cort, so that will be the justification to the ministry of war n finances..((smirking now I have a reason to build again))
Had a look at the pics on your Facebook page and, personally, I think you should keep the scratchplate how it is. It looks great AJ.
Yeah, I agree. The wood pickguard is distinctive and goes so nicely with the whole thing.
Top job.
Facebook photos look sensational AJ. Pickguard is perfect!
Cheers,
Gav.

This is a very old picture that was taken by the RAAF photographic unit at the RAAF Laverton airfield. I was prepping the old bird with the aid of my pit crew, (Left to right - my sons, Justin and Matthew). Matthew has only recently taken up the sport and is learning to fly. A bit of history here... um, when this picture was taken, the club was then called "RAAF Laverton Model Aero club". I was the club pres at that time. Since then the Laverton and Point Cook bases have been amalgamated and renamed to RAAF Williams, Laverton, and, Point Cook Bases. I was part of the team that helped during the process. I retired from the RAAF in 1992, and let my membership of the club lapse for a few years. I am now a current member of the RAAF Williams Club... (different name, same place!).-
** I dont fly RC any more due to slow repsonse and lots of meds to keep the ticker going..:(
