Me too. Sounds like hauling that big rig around the country was getting to you Don - time for a change.

Ok so it won't win any praise but I'll get 'r done so to say. gear was broken so I'll do gear up. thought about one wing flying off but no we won't do that. In fact the little I could find on the aircraft, I believe it got a bum wrap. For starters it never got a full test flight program and was at end of war. Had it been done even a year earler I think the problems could have been worked out. Anyway, my opinion

I did pick up this book in the subject and though short a good read.

So getting some putty work done. Gear up on an clear dowl. the main gear is molded shut and you have to cut it out if you want it opened. Anywho with the main gear broken I figured the in flight would be cool. The main gear section fits for crap though and requires a bunch of putty work (Bondo Man) to clean it up. there were several section I did not think would have had this much clen up from a former Tri Master Mold but hey, I've built Revell and Airfix (MPC) for decades. Bondo Man!.
