I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Here we go again. This is the second time I have built this kit in 6 months. I just can't get enough of the Wurger's perfect proportions.

All I can tell you about this thing is that it was made at the Naval Gun Factory in Watervliet NY in 1943. Amazing, isn't it?

16" gun barrels for the monster in the next image. These pictures were taking at the Yuma Proving Ground.

Today is my birthday. What could my wife have gotten me? We'll see...

The next move is going to be to cut away most of the excess wood. Some of the sheets were good, but one was made of what felt like plywood. p

Tailwheel added. A fitting last touch (pun intended) for a tail dragger.

Here is the image I was trying to reproduce. I don't think the Guillows kit is patterned after the A-7, but who knows, it might just be a representative of any of the BMW 801D radial engined variants. Here's the website I found this at: http://www.rlm.at/cont/profil06_e.htm .

Here's about the best picture of the finished (except landing gear - we may never get to that) aircraft. The model is extensively thinned out on the inside with alot of extra wood taken out. The camoflage is Model Master Acrylic RLM 74,75,76 airbrushed on. The red for the band and spinner is Testors flat red enamel. The prop and cowling is Testors flat black. The underside of the cowl is Testors flat yellow. The cowl is painted with Design Master white floral spray and the black stripes are vinyl striping cut to shape. The model is covered in silkspan applied with a purple glue stick and the whole darn thing is oversprayed with a thin misting of Testors Dullcote. The Guillows decals had to go the way of the white buffalo, being to bright and sharp for my eye. I peeled them off and then photoopied them onto tissue paper glue sticked onto printer paper. I then cut the "tissuecals" out with and Exacto knife and attached them with a 30/70 white glue / water mix. The numeral "3" is cut out black domestic tissue as is the exhaust area aft of the cowl.

Bottom view. I need to add some wheel detail here and some detachable landing gear. The plan is to fly the ship but we'll see... I'm too afraid right now. You can also see that I attached the blisters too far back on the cowl. I think the only way to correct all these mistakes is to build another one.
