I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

plenty of room and lots of 'glass' for the interior details to show through..Can't wait to see the treatment she gets Dave. This machine was a tech marvel for it's time and once the power plants were upgraded it was a menace plus it had the look of a massive venomous spider - I never knew there had been a kit until now, and Sterling too

The board it's sitting on is 24" X 24".

so it IS bigger than it looks in these images - Beauty!

37 1/2" for a scale of 1/21

yep - agreed a time saver and cuts down on waste

coming right along isn't it? wow What is the wingspan, David? near 30" I'm guessing.

It's coming along a lot faster than the A-26. Looks good. What you said about learning more about each plane as you build is true and part of the fun.

Even though I built this kit years ago, I honestly do not remember it so this time it's a learning experience all over again. Now with computers I'm learning much more about the aircraft and developing more admiration and respect for it.

....it did well in the racing.

I love the P61 - Saw a Black finished one at Reno a few years ago - wonderful sight!

I see a lot of sanding in my future.

The cowlings are made of three pieces which fit quite well. I added a circle of wood inside the back one so it can be glued on.

Cutting the strips for infill this way makes optimum use of the wood and reduces the number of cuts required.

I think you would need 2: 1 to shrink fit and 1 to do the shrinking. :)

Messing around with a magnetron is why the kids shrunk in the first place.
Don C, Comment for image # 3993901 Mar 18 15:02
Maybe Szalinski from "Honey, I shrunk the kids" cold help.

Finding a magnetron to fit is a real problem....

And that radar won't radar on its own, either.
David Duckett, Comment for image # 3993927 Feb 18 13:21
They are for the cameras. It's a reconnaissance version.

I see it is battery powered.
