| Love your work David. I also like the manufacturer, its models could be built into nice replicas, as this site shows, plus they have excelent custormer service, however, it'd be nice if they payd a bit more attention to windshields, and provide vacuformed canopies rather than a sheet of plastic in some cases. |

| Yes and yes. I made a center piece from the plans and glued it in place. Then I glued layers of soft 3/16" side by side, trimming each one to fit the previous one. I'll use color of blue to match the decals, albeit lighter. |

| David, I like your philosophy of 'path of least resistance'. 70 years of hanging around this tired old planet has taught me the same path. How did you do the windshield, the same as the Comet B-26? Will be watching to see if you paint the windows blue this time. Blue looked good on the B-26. |

| All those years in RADAR taught me to take the path of least resistance. This windshield is a basically a bowl and the piece of clear plastic provided simply will not conform to all those curves. Even getting the pattern to fit so I could draw the front outline was a bit of a tussle. |

| Ha Ha! That's what I ran into! |

I figure it will be easier to paint the windows than trying to get the plastic windshield to fit. |

Flying "stabilator" compared to scale |

| David,
This is really looking nice. I was also wondering when one of these would make it to the site and now there are several; looking forward to seeing them all! |

| The only other one in this series I've built is the Cessna 170 and it is one of my favorite models. Awhile back on the Guillows forum someone mentioned that he had never seen one of these built so I decided to build one just for grins and I do like the way this is looking. The wood, by the way, is excellent. |

| Is it just me or is every kit in the 300 series a winner? I love these kits. This is going to turn out beautifully. |

| Thanks. Something a "little" different ;-) |
