  1. I know we’ve talked about this before, there’s so much that gets built (this kit is insane) and then gets covered up. Have you ever thought of doing a “visible” airplane? Like leave the cowling off so the intricate engine details can be seen or leaving a section of the fuselage off so you could see the entire cockpit, upper wing skin off above guns, so the guns and ammo storage is visible, stuff like that.
  2. From everything I’ve ever seen, don’t be shy with that aft hot section looking real titanium.
  3. Outstanding! Top shelf Sir, really nice build! 👍😀🇺🇸
  4. Hi All, Been awhile. 😀 I’ve had a guitar on the bench for a good month. Our weather has turned for the year, rain, wind and 40-50s are here for 4-5 months, so will have more time on the bench. Is the place for building confession? 😆 I am learning so much on this build. I think you have to be half card modeling engineer and draftsman to catch everything on the drawings (if you can call them that). I was at a loss on how to roll small items, like landing gears, tubes, exhaust pipes etc. and then I spot this on the page… The part that says print on PAPER… not card stock. That would make rolling easier! 😆😖 Then I couldn’t get my body sections to come together nicely so I looked at some other kits and they had connecting strips that were not just pieces of straight paper or card. So I cut the connecting strip to look like: Wow, what a difference which leads us to this. 😀
  5. Ian, I am digging the ham radio! Excellent “happy place”! Cheers! Dave
  6. Tim - Nice Tomcat photo. I was a tomcat maintainer back in the late 70s. Nice shop! 😀👍
  7. Are the canopy pieces all after market plastic? Can’t tell from the photo. 🙂
