| I didn't forget those Lockheed plans, just working in PA. Enjoying your build. |

The cockpit will be built of laminations on top of the infill. |

It's a big Mosquito! On 36" stock for comparison |
| David Duckett, Image # 30643 | 01 Feb 14 17:03 |
The P-80 is very close to the same scale as the Mosquito. |

| As I'm using only two of these, I'll gladly share. I think they are used only on the fuselage. If interested, tell me the size and give me a snail mail address. |

| Thank you. While I share your admiration of the Spad one is not planned. I did build one as a teenager which was painted bright yellow and looked great until my sister destroyed it with her rocking chair on the front porch. The Fokker was one of my first kits, not this one, and has always been a favorite. I got this one simply because I got a good deal on it. The same with the other Cleveland kits plus the fact that they are just about the only ones in kit form of these planes. The Mosquito is simply an impulsive move, sorta like candy at the checkout counter. I was really looking for the Panther:-) I don't plan to build these in a row but interspersed with painting so I'm good for quite awhile. And speaking of the Spad as a work of art..... |

| I note the vintage Cleveland kits. I got into this because my father loved building. When he passed away in 1995 he was working on a 1936 Cleveland Spad XIII. At some point, I will try to finish it (probably uncovered, so I can see what I did and what he did).
I follow a lot of your builds kind of compulsively, and I would love to see what you would do with that one. The Spad has sort of fallen out of favor as a model, which I have never understood. There are all sorts of great color schemes that have been used on it, and I could see you turning it into another work of art. There are usually one or two of the Spads available on Ebay, if you ever get the itch! |

| I'd say this is more of a "Treasure" than a Stash. |

| These, and the P-80, are all in, or close to, 3/4 scale. The P-80 and F9F are slightly off. |

Self-adhesive vinyl decals from the UK are from the same manufacturer as those used on the Lancaster. I'll use two of the larger ones which are 2". |

| The plans call for upper and lower keels to be 1/16" stock 1/8" wide and there are no side keels. I did that on the P-80 but did not build each half as shown here. That caused a substantial twist towards the rear which required extra wood and repair work. This time I'm building the two halves on 1/16" stock and will put all the stringers on before removing them from the board. This kit is designed for rubber power and if built according to the plans should be quite light. I plan to make the canopy and the nose solid and will paint them as I did on other models. |

These are all the 3/32" stringers I have but more are on the way. |

The cataract surgery has allowed me to see much better but I can't paint in the middle of the night but I can see well enough to do some work on a model. |

| 13125 N. Red Hill Road, Marana AZ 85653-9163 and thanks. It will be great to see other Cleveland designs built! |
