David Duckett | 19-May-13 04:07 | I made small boxes from foam board to protect all the "fragile" parts. These three assemnlies were then wrapped in plastic garbage bags before being packed. |

David Duckett | 19-May-13 09:46 | The tape will not remove either. |
David Duckett | 21-May-15 06:25 | Update: Note the date of this post. Yesterday I got a call from Barry Kaye, one of Bob Kaye's brothers. He and a couple of other brothers just got this, still packed, from Bob's widow and its existence was a complete surprise to them. There is a DFC, Distinguished Flying Cross, associated with this plane but it has not been presented. Barry believes Bob was keeping it secret until the presentation was made so it would be a surprise to all concerned. As the model was still packed with the peanuts inside it is unknown if Bob even saw the painting that was included. Barry was highly complimentary of the model and plane and it's good to know their fate. I'll share any further developments. |
