Schumacher Cat Sx - Shiny version ;)

Post by Trass »

Hi,

This my personnal vision of the Schumacher CAT SX ("SX1")

All parts have their anodising removed and attempt to be polished ...not easy with all those curves.

Screws are by now some Inox A2 ones

It took me araound 2 years to find 2+4 cell chassis and now i'm on the way to finish ;)

Pretty! And with all the elbow grease you've invested in this, you probably have a nice set of Popeye forearms, too! :lol:

I received the wing mount:

On the other hand, I searched for a wink, there is nothing that goes on (aesthetic level) .... today's fins are ugly: |


Otherwise, I also looked at the engine which was also polished.

After a few minutes to sand, polish ...
