| Dumas 200 series kits are not very detailed, but I am satisfied with what I could do with it. I realize there are many more Dauntless details that could be added such as found on the Guillow’s 1000 series model. |

| Back in the late 1940’s, I built a Dauntless with a 20” wingspan from a Comet kit, but did it in the WW 11 blue/gray colors., as Dumas kit #228 suggests. I just like this color scheme better! |

| Here's a REALLY big "model" of a B-17. The world famous Bally Bomber. One mans obsession to build 1/3 scale B-17 which he intends to actually sit in and fly! Check out the website: http://theballybomber.com/ |

| Next build is the Dauntless, another model I had done back in the mid 1940's (original Comet plans shown) This build will be from the laser cut Dumas Kit #228 with an 18" wingspan. Plan to make it into the pre WWII paint scheme as was done by Xanadu and John M. Oshurst on their models. |
