Nice choice Jerry. I have a question. In the -3 edition of this kit, the props were molded with the blades reversed (i.e. you would have to move the prop boss from one side to the other to get the shape of the blades correct). Is it the same for the -2?

The props seem to be correct.
 
I didn't know these things had a tail hook!!!!!!!
They are beauties.

*I did a bit of sign painting on one of these as well, for John Crocker.
