Any way to see the photos for those of us without facebook?

Thank you Mike, I thought that might be the case but wanted to ask first before getting one.

Looking to add either a Trumpeter F6F-3 or -5 to my build list, but mostly the -3N or -5N are available. Can anyone tell me if a standard -3 or -5 can be built from these kits? Thanks!

I don't know how you even managed to get that aircraft off the runway in the first place with cajones that big in the cockpit.

Have to say, beautifully done! I can't imagine the stress in a situation like that, your skill and professionalism made a potentially disastrous situation into a best possible outcome scenario. Well done! I would fly with you anytime.

WOW, CONGRATULATIONS!!! To be honored like must be an incredible feeling, they sure don't hand those out to just anything. I saw MANY gorgeous aircraft up there, and to win an award you must have an absolutely pristine aircraft. Well done! I never got up close to your Travel Air, but saw it in the distance and was just about ready to head that direction when those F-15's and F/A-18's "arrived" Thursday. Sorry I never got over there to take a look! We ended up bringing one of our 172's, nothing NEARLY as nice as what you brought!

We flew in and back out yesterday, aside from things being a bit soggy all is well. I spoke with a few of the volunteers, they told me they had to cancel the Wednesday night airshow and reschedule it. They were herding as many people into the museum and a few other hard structures for shelter but everyone was okay. Not sure what time that Stearman went on it's nose, but as we were taxiing to our parking spot the emergency crews were heading to the runway - a little before 8am. We were one of the last aircraft in VFR before they stopped VFR arrivals for a while. They were able to open it back up a while later. This was my first time flying in (always drove up in past years) and was a bit nervous about it all, especially "landing on the dot". But, it went very well and I can't say enough good things about how well all of the folks working there do the impossible. What an exciting day!

Not sure which aircraft we're bringing up, but planning on flying in Thursday. I'll look for you there!

Planning to be there, will look for both of those beautiful aircraft.

Got mine a couple of days ago, haven't yet had the chance to really tear into it but from what I can see already it's really good. Bravo Tamiya!

Nice! I'll be ordering these as soon as they are available. Thank you for the heads up!

Excited about this one Matt, the Camel is one of my favorites. Excellent choice too on the markings!

VERY impressive work Matt, love what you're doing here. The subtle weathering is just right.

It really is amazing the additional level of realism those linen decals provide, especially on the white areas.

Hopefully it didn't arrive in Chicago, packages from overseas can sit there for months before they get to it. I had one from the Netherlands last year that sat in Chicago for a few months, have one as we speak sitting there since Feb 4th.

One of my favorite WWI aircraft, and really looking forward to seeing your take on this!

RC scale aircraft builder here! Flying a couple of sport planes ATM, have a 1/4 Fokker D.VII and a 1/4 Nieuport 28 on the bench.

Amazing results Mike, really like "the look" of the completed build. It just looks "right".

Mine died a couple of weeks ago, bought this one on Amazon and so far seems to be working well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VT2F5N9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Glad to hear there is still hope for some AM cockpit parts coming for these kits, I've been waiting for years for something for them.
