Thanks Maru! I should have so more updates on it soon. Cheers, Don

Amazing detail as ever Jerry! Looking forward to the next update. Cheers, Don

I bought my kit through e-Bay to save a few bucks or so I thought. It came in from Hong Kong. Probably on the bottom on the palette. Cheers, Don

My box was the same and the seller put it into another box just as flimsy. Mostly fiddly bits like the pitot tube and the top fin were broken. Just a few extra parts to construct is all! Cheers, Don

The Eduard set makes a huge difference over the stock cockpit. I would love to see the Ju88 built as an in flight model! Having all the crew members wearing oxygen masks would be an awesome sight through that big canopy. Go for it! A man of your talent could pull this off easily. Cheers, Don

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'm currently working on the wheel bay for the tail wheel. I'll be adding a bit of rib detail in there. Also finishing up the cockpit so I can get the fuselage joined up. More pics to come soon. Cheers, Don

Thanks Shawn! I wasn't sure I could pull off the intake and exhaust but it turned out well in the end. Cheers, Don

This is made by Skunk Models Workshop. Here is a link to the review. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev4/3701-3800/rev3779-Skunkworks-Reaper-Johnson/00.shtm They also make the Global Hawk if the Reaper is not big enough for you. I don't have this one yet but I'm considering it. http://www.hyperscale.com/2010/reviews/kits/skunkmodels48009reviewbg_1.htm Cheers, Don

You won't be disappointed! It makes for a quick build and it's definitely something different for the collection. Cheers, Don

After seeing this kit built up I just had to get one. The fit is fantastic so far. The only trouble I've had is with broken parts due to rough handling during shipment. Apparently someone saw fit to run over my box with a steam roller! The sprues actually left an impression in the lid. I'll manage though and so far I'm enjoying this simple build. I plan on doing a small dio for it as well. The Reaper is big! Here it is next to my 1/32 Ju88. Aluminum tubing was crimped and stretched to form the intake and exhaust. Otherwise you will have no detail in here and will be able to see through the model. I added the splitter for the intake from plastic card. As noted in other builds the prop is pitched in the wrong direction and will need to be corrected. I've reshaped the blades to match my references and will begin seperating them and repitching soon. Only the wings are glued together in these photos which shows you how good the fit really is. Very little filling is required.

You've done a superb job as usual Ron. Beautiful Corsair! Cheers, Don

This is easily one of my favorite builds of all time. You've done a magnificent build sir! Looking forward to the finished product. I wish someone would put out a kit like this for us mortals. Cheers, Don

Simply amazing work Loic! That engine is just stunning. Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers, Don

Cheers Richard! Now if I can only stay at the table long enough to finish something. Getting back was the easy part! Cheers, Don

I've finally got some free time again so here is a little update on the 88. Some progress is better than no progress! The cockpit is still not glued in at this time as I'm working on the cicuit breaker boxes. I also plan to add a little detail to the tail wheel bay. Cheers, Don
