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

Thanks, Dale. Those vanes are the last thing to make so now I can finish the detailing. I do like the touch they add:-)

I was reading about the P-80 prototype and the intake problem was mentioned, but nothing said about the solution. Anyway, those intake vanes do look good on your model !

Those intake vanes are the result of David following the directions. ; )

No, Brian. Dale, I don't know what their design function is.

Very nice piece of work David ! Are those intake vanes a result of Lockheed's problem of having the intake ducts collapsing inward from engine suction during ground testing of the P-80 ?

Main landing gear doors have been added. The vanes in the intakes were made from .020 styrene and balsa sticks. 1 1/4 ounces of lead weight was implanted in the bottom of nose to bring it to a three point stance.

Well done, David, what a nice gift to Debra for her to remember her brave uncle by.

DD, the Arizona Military Museum is having an art show. I think some of your work in the exhibit would be greatly appreciated by the public. Would you be interested in contributing? If so, send me an email: jamesbolek@gmail.com

Ha! I have plans to build all of them. My wife has plans for me to do other stuff. Once I retire... Actually I am starting an F-16 for another museum exhibit, after that a 1/6 LOH Loach helicopter for the same museum. Then back to my own stuff. I need to finish a Sterling P-26, then maybe the F-80.

that's a big kit!
David Duckett, Comment for image # 2979520 Jun 14 12:00
Do you plan to build it or stash it?

I just won (on eBay) the Cleveland "Master" series of the Shooting Star. They say it is 3/4" scale, where your kit is the 30" scale series (1/15.6 scale). It will be interesting to compare the two kits and see if there is any difference. There are four printwood sheets that are doubles (T1-T4), and one print wood sheet that is single (T5). There are two sheets not printed except "To be used as filler".

Absolutely beautiful David. The love you have for this hobby is shown in all your models. FANTASTIC!!!
