| If I was still a building fool, a Dornier Do-217 would be in my arsenal only made by Sigs. Something about WWII night fighters.... |

| It's a shame SIG no longer makes these kits which were, in fact, Berkeley kits with a different brand name attached. |

This is on the second floor level and there's a huge space in front of this model where they will hang the Piper Cub when finished. |

| Bill, probably. There are many photos of f9f Panthers with wings folded, carrying 500lb bombs. Great looking aircraft. |

| If those were real bombs, would the hydrolics really be able to fold the wings? |

| Nice Skyraider, David. Is this your photo? When and where? |

| There were a few around LS 85 after the attack by the NVA. |

| And the guys who survived "rolling thunder", I believe have a lot of respect for the "Sandy's" and "Jolly Greens" and their pilots and crews who plucked them out of a tight spot. |

| Planking means using strips glued on to the formers, as shown, to cover the fuselage, and then sanding it smooth. I think this was a fairly common technique when this kit was made in the '50s. |

| From my hangar. The wing of this Bearcat is designed to be sheeted. For the wing of a Guillows kit to be sheeted properly, all the ribs would need to have 1/16", in this case, removed from the top and bottom to accomodate the sheeting and maintain the integrity of the design. |

| This was also highly influenced by the FW 190. |

| I love working with balsa. Everytime I add something and actually get it right, I have to sit back and gaze at it for a while. By the way, the Bearcat finished looks fantastic! |

| Just for grins, Poppy, this is a planked and sheeted Bearcat which I covered with silkspan. Your Hellcat brings to mind just how much work is involved in making one of these totally covered with balsa, and how much fun it is. |

| Yup! It's the plastic hub from the Corsair and the blades are 3/32 balsa. |

| Wow, the prop looks really scale. Did you make that yourself? |

Ready to join the crowded skies |
