There's a Kodac moment I could've done without. It's Boxer Bill!!!
As soon as I get the Spit done I will get started on the Tracker. I have been running all day working on these photos since I got off work at noon.

Bill, here are the sprue shots you asked me for sir. This is going to be a time consuming build! The parts are numerous. My only complaint, and it's just my opinion, they dropped the ball on the engine assemblies.

That wing-walk decal looks like it's going to be fun to apply Aaron.

I may use it for a template and mask it off and paint it.

Looks great mate! Eager to get one for USS Yorktown, but got other things to sort out first, before buying one!
Any pros and cons so far with the kit?

Guys, I can already tell you, IT WON'T MAKE THE DEADLINE! Jan, I have no idea yet but will let you know as I get to them. May look up a review or two on line to. Vic, I'm not sure about the wings yet. Kinda like the idea of the detail in the wing joints though so may do both wing up. I'm already insane Charles so the is little harm of any more damage to self. I will have some bridges to cross though and some will be tough.

complicated looking build, but should be a real joy at the end i would expect...any warping or major errors/imperfections do you think?

Mr. Schilson got in touch with me the beginning of the week with all of the info on his squadron. I have been searching to no avail of photos and info and have found nothing so far. He was in VS-38, the Red Griffins 1963 - 1966. You can find a boat load of info on the S-3 Vikings though.
