Must have! Fond memories of this plane - such a joy to fly. I recall providing several of my personal pics to someone a couple years ago for just this - hope it's for the same project.

I counted them - your 5 short

Maybe I'll go watch Greyhound again.......

Only issue with replicas is a placard on the IP "Aerobatics Prohibited"

I'm not allowed to think..........my wife said so

I recall it like it was yesterday, climbing out of the cockpit for the last time to become a civilian. Thinking it won't be long and I'll be back in the air again somewhere somehow. It never happened and never will, except in the back of the tube. treat every flight as your last, never know when it will be.

I've used them before also on a FAA Corsair. Found them very stiff (leads to brittle) and didn't react well with solvents. I had to resort to solve-a-set to get them down properly and not 'tent' over details. Agree with the very sticky - once it touches the model, didn't want to move.

I was hoping for the same thing. would take the stabilizers for sure if possible. I have master static wicks already. just looking of the resin items.

1 - F4U-1D my all time favourite aircraft. 2 - Mossie - something about those twin RR merlins....(if one in a spitfire is good, two are better right?) 3 - F-14 Tomcat - the boyhood dream to take the big fighter for a spin can't be ignored.
-
yes - no issues for shipping to Canada. had a few orders with them now.
-
bet it would look perfect in scale next to the 1/35 helos

Never understood all the Tomcat love

just another inter-service bar brawl................. -
Question is - does it look too light to you Woody? We have a saying out here on the west coast when it comes to weathering - less is more. your build looks great, but you are the one who needs to be happy with the end result looking at it in your display case two years from now.

Congratulations Frank! As others have said - welcome to the club. Stoked for you also!

hehe, you know it's going to be the hardest ones to do right? If I were looking to use replacement parts, it would be the bomber bubble an forward half of the upper turret. To me those are the ones that are the worst on my copy.
-
Ali, I agree with you however would also say that should you actually consider it, I would recommend to look at the 2 or 3 main clear parts that really need to be done and leave the rest to the kit parts which are largely acceptable in most cases and won't be an issue on the completed model. Again, decision is respected and appreciated.

Com'on Alf - those were the comfy seats! LOL - didn't you get the 'extra cushion' from maintenance? bet you waved 'bye-bye' on climb out a few times too. Looking forward to watching this - haven't had the drive to try this one myself. Comox t-bags were grey by the time I got to them in the early 90's. Great start boss! there's a bad pic of me floating around somewhere in the cockpit of a hanger queen before my red pages exam.

I'd buy a pair of those straight up! Bravo Jug! -
I have a 2021 Outback but have the higher trim with the twin turbo engine so I can tow the boat or a utility trailer. Still like the car just as much as I did when it was new. Takes a bit to get used to the beeps and squeaks of the eye sight system but after a couple weeks you'll be ignoring it. I have lots of power in mine and still get very good milage compared to others out there. Only my old 2009 Nissan Sentra was better on gas. You'll love it.

Just for fun - what plane would you chose to arrive in at Oshkosh?
