| thanks guys. it was fun to do the radial engine conversion on it. I prefer round engines and to me, this airplane just looks a thousand times better this way. The Guillow Catalina cowlings are just the right size and I think the sheets ended up costing me around $20 with shipping. The sheets included the prop hubs and the 1000# bombs which I used for the oils cooler scoops and exhaust shrouds. |

| Fwiw all the animals used in this production were unharmed. The bears in the background are new..we just got back from a short stay at Sequoia and Kings Canyon. My little grandaughter just loves them so naturally poppop bought ‘em for her. |

| Beautiful work. Although, when you have fun building it can hardly be called work.
