Nice work Guys...
Picked up Special Hobby's 1/72 reboot of the USAAC Seversky P-35A. Really became interested in this plane after reading "Doomed at the start" and the kit is really nice. The only thing I find questionable is the second seat, complete with seat belts, in the baggage compartment. I know they stuffed at least 2 people in there in an emergency, but an actual seat? I'm thinking not...

I've seen pictures of it. Try the one in Sweden's museum, that may have been it. I was suprised as well.
Really? I opened the door of the one in Dayton (don't tell them) and there was room, but no actual seat.

The ones built for Sweden actually has a window there so maybe Paul's right.

Great scores everyone!
Bill, MRC is associated with Tamiya somehow - have often seen their products listed as 'MRC Tamiya' (especially their 1/35 tank and RC car ranges, IIRC)
Can't say what the actual relationship is though, unless it's the usual 'Academy/Minicraft', 'DML/Dragon', or 'MPM/Special Hobby/Azur' deal..?

I have built a couple of their AFV kits. Wonderful detail, lots of "goodies", and intellegent instructions!
Bill, clear your PM catche, it's full! I tried to send you some more detailed info, but couldn't.

PM is now "MT"
The review I found has a few little issues with fits and gaps, but they seem to be nothing someone with a little experience can't cope with. The amount of detail, includes the round engine as well. Interior has framed and webbed seats tho so I will have to scratch build the sonar station again. A much simpler arrangement than the 3A I built.
So I is gonna gitit.
Jan, my HS-4 build will be a Yorktown b1rd. From the dates of my cruise. The SH-60's never operated from the Yorktown, I believe.

All of this Dora talk has me wanting to do another 1/32 one, but I've promised myself I won't buy anything new! Love that kit Jerry.

Well Bill, you having called 'The Fighting Lady' home, doesn't help my ever so slight USS Yorktown (CV-5 and CV-10) obsession!
Hopefully, it is the decals for my 1/48 Tracker, USS Yorktown, waiting for me at the post oficce, will pick them up on Friday!
Me will get one of these as well!

Good stuff chaps, and I was wondering about that Gallery Models/MDC kit too - recently saw them advertised at Model Hobbies.
This arrived today, thanks to help from Karl. It'll be converted to the A-1 version, for my BoB collection (spare parts for canopy and gondola included, so just shorten wing tips ailerons, and modify engine cowls, plus a few other minor things.). Just waiting for my second order for the Do17Z to arrive, then all I need are another four Bf109Es !
