And we're off! A day early but I know you're off to camp so we'll let it go this time....

 

[fubar57]

Added some detail shots. I won't show you the slight improvement I made to the pilots seat until I get in tomorrow morning

Nice subject. Looks like a nice kit.

Interesting bird captured, it will be interesting to see that transformation.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Sweet!!!

Rock on.

Looks like a nicely detailed kit Geo.
NOTE : Could you please add the scale and type to the header info ? Saves us having to go back through the thread when judging.

 

[fubar57]

Scale was there. Do you mean kit maker as well?

 

[Airframes]

Sorry Geo, I wasn't very clear with my request.
Scale and aircraft type are in the thread title, but not in the info section after name, category, kit manufacturer etc.

 

[Wurger]

Yep the header is that part of the first post. The one above and typed with the bold font is the thread title which is correct this time.

 

[fubar57]

Amended. Am I not mistaken when I have seen a template for the header. It seems like when I make a GB thread I sometimes see the parts on the left and just the right side needs to be filled in. Anyhoo.....raging snow storm and it looks like I'll be working through both my breaks...off to the mines..............

As I mentioned in the general thread of the GB this same model I had in mind to mount, not here I am but here when I did with the model the decals and I have them.
great mold

George, looks like the aircraft is in storage at the National Air and Space museum. Shot here of it in storage and what is left of her.

All I could find George, enjoy the build sir.

 

[fubar57]

Thank you for the photos, every shot helps

 

[CORSNING]

The problem with using a model is you never know how accurate
the builder stayed. But just in case:

Enjoy, Jeff

 

[fubar57]

Many thanks Jeff. Note that the two builds have different pilots seat harnesses. My thought was just the lap belts as this isn't a fighter and I haven't found any period photos to confirm or deny. Odd that the last build show lightning holes on the bottom of the seat and not the back. .Eduard P.E. sheet has the shoulder harness included. The photo in Paul's link is much like my unfinished stash
