Fiddlers Green Taube ready for flight

Hi there,

I've just finished the redone version (Richard Derry?) of the Taube, which is a big visual improvement over the original. With some extra work this could come out as a very nice model indeed, but I was building it for my daughter's bedroom ceiling so I've only added a few extra bits. I added a balsa main spar for strength as well.

My son may want one too when he sees this, so I might have a chance to do a better one soon - each model is a learning experience!

Doing the tyres was one of the trickiest bits, They're a simple 3-part construction, hollow inside, with added conical centres. I wanted to keep them hollow to save weight - does anyone have any tips on glueing this kind of shape together?
