| What was the shot glass filled with before you drank it, turned it over, slammed on the counter top and used it as a stand?

| The wingspan makes it to be 1/14.5 scale. There's a company called TDR Innovations that makes an Allison V-12 in 1/12 scale. They create it using 3/D printing. They could probably make it in this scale as well for you, Poppy. |

Infill is complete. Bare areas covered by air scoop and exhausts. |

| The wings with the crossed ribs are quite stiff and warp free for their weight. Models built from kits in this series actually fly quite well if you get rid of the #$%@ tube and do some other lightening. They were Comet's last gasp and not quite enough to save the company.

| That's a funny and brilliant observation, Brian! You definitely moved up a few notches>:-) But, seriously, I could see the reason for the tube but those wing ribs make no sense at all. Covered with anything other than mahogany, they would look gross. Somehow I think Poppy will probably cover them with some nice wood. |

| I remember I got a fw-190 kit with the cardboard insert when I was a kid, I thought it was so abstract to balsa building that I threw the kit away. |

| I hear you, that is what I meant. If the tube was a safety mechanism, would an access port be required, somewhere in the tail, to enable hooking on a new rubber? |

| It would take more than a cardboard tube to prevent crash destruction! But it was designed to enclose rubber motor if used. |

| John, yes the decals as shown are included but they are old peel and stick with stick long gone. Using them as a pattern, I will have to fashion new ones. |

| yep, thought so. It's one of em with crissy crossy wings...

| Slick kit my Friend. Does it include decals that match the cover art??? |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 31039 | 07 Mar 14 07:15 |
| Does that tube also serve a a rubber band airplane destruction preventor if used as a flight model? |

| Plans call for glueing formers to tube, but I left free so tube can be removed after infilling. |
