That was the first plane my father hung at the "new" NASM, that opened in 1976.

Just curious. Does anyone know what CAD software they use? -
What is the magazine in the background? Looks interesting.

This is always something that’s bothered me, and I was wondering how you deal with the seams when radial engine halves are cemented together. Do you take the time to clean up the joint and all the fins, or is it just not worth the effort considering the engine, in most cases, is behind a cowl? For those of you that do clean them up, how do you do it, and what tools do you use? Thanks, Kurt

Thanks all! I'll report back once I have something figured out. Kurt

All, I’m looking for a little advice here. Is there a slow setting type of CA glue? Getting a little frustrated trying to get an instrument panel put together for a Ki-43. Some of the smaller instrument sub assemblies and bezels seem difficult to align properly using CA. I didn’t know if there might be something out there that allows a little adjustment before it sets. Currently using Gorilla Glue gel. Thanks for any advice and tips you can offer this fumble fingered wanna be modeler. Kurt

Seriously, you need a Youtube channel to show us all your techniques!

Yes, my neighbor was. The Franklin was hit I think by two kamikaze attacks. My father was injured as a result of his crash at Pensacola and was given a medical discharge by the USN. He re-upped and waived his medical discharge in order to participate in the war. My father's flight instructor down in Pensacola was George Gay.

Growing up, my next door neighbor was an F6F pilot on the Franklin. He had also been at Pearl Harbor. Was officer of the deck on the Detroit. Later became Commander of the carrier Roosevelt. My father was quartermaster on that carrier during WW2, after his plane crash in Pensacola. My neighbor's recollection of Pearl Harbor: http://www.elivermore.com/photos/diablo_beacon04.htm

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

Yes, that is correct. I had thought of building either Walsh’s or the really weathered one that has Tojo in its name.

Would anyone know if/when the F4U birdcage decal set is going to be re-released? I've been holding off on making the purchase of the Tamiya kit until I know if the set is available. Thanks, Kurt

Just saw this thread. I haven’t been on the site in a while. I met Mr. Lopez years ago. He worked with my father at NASM. Nice man. Pretty incredible job you’re doing here.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the book.
