| Through a wonderful chain of generosity this will be next. Thank you to Heywooood and David Duckett. Research and planning stage is underway. |

| This looks to be one of the most difficult kits ever! I am certainly looking forward to seeing it come alive. |

| I also look forward to seeing your work progression on this kit, Don.
The Tigercat is in good hands.
Have you already selected the squadron / livery you plan to model?

| DD, you're starting to make me nervous. :) And Kevin, it's going to be the Blue Angel flown by Cdr. Zeb Knott. The one in the picture. |

| if one were to model every aircraft the Blues have flown in their history, this would be one of the hardest kits to find.
Is there a decent balsa kit of the A4 Skyhawk? might have to scratch that one up without a kit.
Can't wait to see Cdr. Knott's aircraft in your hangar, Don
Great choice |

| I don't care for 1/20" balsa, at all, and it's used in this kit. Plus the construction will be far easier for someone experienced with real wood because you might need to do some of your own designing. |

| The "redesigning" has already started. The kit is the "short nosed" version and I am going for the "long nose". The interior engine mount stuff is eliminated, the wings and fuselage shaped a bit different as well as one piece. Since I'll be making the parts, they'll be 1/16". Guess which kit just reappeared on Ebay. |
