Huey, look in the background. This is the New England Air Museum. |

Don; First glance, I thought that it was your Laird in the foreground and was going to compliment you on the nice "Laird Planes (Chicago)" decal on the side. |

Unfortunately my decal didn't turn out that well. I think I should have used decal paper with white background. |

Looks like a great museum. |

The Blimp and the Lockheed 12 look interesting . |

DonC, what method was used for rigging? Which materials? Looks fantastic with that flat rigging. What did you use for clevis ends to anchor the rigging? Your model looks great. Huey, how could you possibly tell that was a Lockheed Model 12 in the background? -Skye |

It's right next to Bradley Intl. Airport and has two buildings, one for military and one for commercial. Their exhibits are first class, and they have projects going all the time. I sat in a Corsair and a Thunderbolt with some students I brought down. Worth a trip. |

Skye, the windshield frame. |

Thanks Skye - Plastruct flat styrene strips, don't remember the size, 1/16 maybe, painted silver. Clevises are silver beads and tubes. |

Don C, thank you for that info on the rigging. Huey, your eyes are much better than mine. |
