A masterpiece!! Your Friend will be truly impressed with the craftsmanship and true representation of his relative's aircraft. |

Thanks, Poppy. The real Noght Prowler, and other planes of the same wing, did not have the black anti-icing strips. Mr. Kaye wanted it painted to match the illustration in the article so I did. Actually I would have painted them anyway because they definitely add interest. Call it artistic license.:-) |

David: I have been building balsa models for a short while now, and your builds are fantastic tutorials. Based on your continuing use, I'd like to try using heavyweight silkspan, but I can't find it available on the web right now. Could you share your source? Thanks for all the great lessons you've taught me so far! |

Thank you. Tower hobbies carries all three grades. |

JHUK-80...Sig and Penn Valley are also options for Silk Span. |

Hope this Night Prowler B-29 made it safely to Minnesota. |

It arrived last Wednesday but I have heard nothing since. I told Bob it would cost between $800 and $1000 and when I sent it and charged the 1K, he said he was "surprised" because I had said $600-800. He did send the check. No mention of the painting, either. He watched the plane being built from day one and said privately how much he liked it. |

In my humble opinion, if I ask David to build this master piece, and he got it PERFECT, no matter what the cost, it's "PRICELESS!!!!". |
