| Like the sheeted balsa idea. Am going to try it on a T-28 Trojan after the B-24 build. Maybe a little tutorage from Poppy as far as panel line detailing installation and such, as your completed models in your hangar are showcase material. |

| Looking very good so far! |

| Extra ribs cut to replicate full scale F4U-1D. 1/32 sheet balsa for covering. |

This is a Guillows series 1000 F4U-4. |

| I think the Invader was a Comet kit. Comet "stick and tissue" was about all that was available. I was building and flying U-contol during teen yrs. Later R/C but too much time building and not enough flying B-4 disaster convinced me to just build scales. |

| O.K. Let me know if there is anything at all in the Comet line in which you have an interest. |

| I remember a nice B-26 Invader that I built in '57. |

| Poppy, headed to Chicago at the end of the month. May be able to acquire some old Comet kits. Anything special you are interested in??? |

| I haven't decided on next build. After 57 yrs of model building I am running out of choices. Maybe I'll just start over. I will show pics of whatever in progress. Sure wish I had some old Comet kits. |

| It really looks great. I've never been able to get a metal finish as good as this. |

| Very nice............I am jealous to say the least! |

A bit better pic. Again, a little personal naming of plane. |

| This thing looks FAST!!! super model!!! |
| poppy, Image # 3094 | 04 Jun 07 18:35 |
Modified kit by using 1/32 sheet balsa for covering. I left out working features and L/G since it will always be hanging. Drop tanks are carved balsa and guns are brass tubes w/plastic inserts. |
