Thanks, Tim. This is a telephoto shot of the Catalina Mountains to the north from the front door. |

There will be some detail but not much. |

I added wood to the edge of the cockpit to insure there's enough to glue the canopy to. |

It's been windy and cold in Tucson and I can't dope until it gets over 70 degrees. |

Well done, David. I'm with Heywood, looking forward to seeing the finished model. |

the Hurdles..once you get past the last one it is definitely a relief..and a motivation to hold the line and stay worthy of the work already done. I can't wait to see this model come down the home stretch

Thank you, Kevin. It also is the point at which I feel that the most difficult part is done. |

Thanks, we are! It’s been a crazy year, especially with the passing of my wife. The kids are basically young adults now, time flies! I hope to get back to building again soon, got a bunch of kits waiting for me 😊 |

Thanks, Tim. I hope you and the kids are doing well. |

Looking great, David! |

it's true that there are one or two key features or defining characteristics of every airplane..the things that make them unique unto themselves. For this one I would say the cowling is the main one and that the other would be it's overall North American-ness..it's kinship to the P-51 (tail fin and shape of the vertical fin/rudder and elevator as well as the wing plan-form and airfoil and to the FJ-1 Fury... The cowling and power plant definitely draw the eyes though. This one is a winner |

I'm relieved that the cowl turned out as well as it did considering what it looked like when I started. The rest of the build will be the familiar sand and dope ad infinitum readying it for covering and paint. |
