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

| Thank you, Poppy - the Dumas kits have all been terrific to work with.
I have their Hall’s Springfield Bulldog kit on deck for later this year. |

| 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. |

| also added a strip of 1/8" square balsa strip stock to the bottom of F4 - the part split during sanding and filling so this is a necessary add also for structural integrity |

| here you can see that I added an additional part number N1 to each side of the balsa nacelles. I just traced the outline of the part onto 1/16" thick sheet balsa. this completed the rounded profile of the nacelles down to the wing joint and added structural strength as well. |

| 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. |
