| I'm glad someone made the boat. I figured the VA was a good pool of experienced builders to alert to the trial builds. I spoke up for the P-38 and am going to have to be very diligent to ensure that I get it done in a timely fashion. |

| I think the Zero was probably a Dumas kit. |

| I volunteered to build the laser cut version for Guillows and will post the pictures here once I receive the kit. |

| That must have been a Peck's kit. I still have the printwood kit that they put out as a reminder that the good old days weren't all good. Every piece that you cut out is a repair job just waiting. |

| I plan on adding this Guillow's model to my hanger after watching the movie "Red Tails" yesterday. Excellent movie; very realistic. Lots of P-40s, P-51s, B-17s, battling BF-109s. |

| I agree with Moos. |

| I love plastic kits.Steve, I suggest a re-gluing is in order and then a watered down wash to show off those panel lines and rivets. You will be amazed at how this bird will come to life. Any machine gun or antenna pieces can be made by old sprues of plastic, gently heating and stretching. |

While cleaning out my storage unit this weekend I discovered this Revell 1/48 He 111H that I built about 15 years ago. It is the most recent plastic kit I have built to date and at the time was also my best build and paint job on a model, I was very proud of it. Interestingly, since my model is from the early 90's Revell intentionally left out the swastika on the tail, a decision they reversed in 1997. All the machine guns and other fine detail is snapped off so I think I should try to find a wooden kit to replace it with rather than another plastic one. |

| Bump for John O. |

| Because up till this point I assumed that heavier than air flying machines was a myth perpetuated by Hollywood. Just like in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" that I watched last night while attaching 64 fins to 8 missiles for the F-15. |

| I just simply can't imagine why!? |

The wing apears to have gone askew, resulting in straight flight rather than a circle. At this point I put away the camare and began chasing it. But about 150' away a tree kindly caught it for me. I broke the wing getting it down - back to the hanger. |

Here the plane has leveled out and has swept about 180° from where I launched it. By this point I was ginning ear to ear and starting to laugh like a kid. |

Initial unpowered glides were like the BF-109, short and steep. Moving the wing forward and removing 1.5g of nose weight moved the CG back, fixing the problem. Here we see it as it begins to climb and turn into a 40' circle around me. |

Sunny, 50F, and 0-1 MPH NE winds, so I went to the park. This is my universal adapter for winding up the plane - the Canary from "Rubber Power" by Don Ross. |
