MikeMaben Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 ...so I've been gone awhile and decided to come back. For those who don't remember me I thot I'd need to prove that I do actually build (tho incredibly slowly) This is my last LSP, Trumpeters F8F-2 as the first winner of the Reno Nationals Unlimited Division in 1964, known as Smirnoff 80. I made the decals myself. As always, feel free to comment in any way. Mike D Bellis, 109, Jim Barry and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Martin, I met him back in 1965, a very cool guy, and quite dashing in the eyes of this kid. He was younger back then too. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Now that is a classy return. Just need more pics though Hubert Acouple Hubert... Here's one of the few color shots from then... I tried to improve the contours and look of the cowling by taking a bunch of meat off the upper front and by adding a lip inside and then radiusing the front edge of that. I think it helped some...
