Thanks! James: The computer has somehow added about 40 or so hits that haven't happened. I've seen this happen twice before ;-(

That is some awesome craftsmanship Mr. Duckett. On a side note, I never thought I would see two incredible "Jack's" side by side. I like the wartime colors a lot, but I'm super-impressed by the choice of the prototype scheme. Gotta keep it lively. I'd really like to see your version of a prototype Spitfire David. ;-) That weird blue and all...

David, so I don't have to sift right through the site, can you point me in the right direction for a heads up on your fabric covering techniques ? No doubt you have provided one of your amazing how to's on one of your builds so if you could let me know where to look I'd be very grateful. Nice work on the Jack by the way.

Thanks, all. The prototype color is wild, no doubt, and the real trick is to get an orange that isn't garish and will look good with the red of the hinomarus. Since I don't know what the actual color was, I just mix until I get what looks right to me. But then, it's always like that.;-) Jerry and I also share Shindens in our hangers and there aren't many of them, either. This kit is no longer manufactured but David Diels did produce a laser cut trial kit and might bring it to market if there's any interest. I like the design of the plane and I'm starting to like the orange more and more.
