John Sherrell's aluminium skins have arrived and I've started work on them. Here you can see the skins loosely connected with some of the resin parts 

Well it has finally arrived - thanks to Matt Coatney for sending the R2 frame from the states.
After a couple of evenings building and working out what goes where we have an almost complete upside down A&A frame!!!
Hopefully next week the skins should arrive

Guy Averett's R2 dome drive arrived a couple of days ago - pity there's no dome or frame to attach it to yet!!! 

Billy joins the darkside!!!! 

Another new arrival today - Rockler bearing for the dome 

First parts for R2

The first bits and pieces have arrived for my R2 unit:


 
Front and back light logic kit

Radar eye lens

At the moment I'm still waiting for my Dome, the A&A frame and the Rockler bearing which will keep me going for a while......
