The club is doing a Korea-thon build.
This was my choice.
It was a kit with no box or decals, not even in a bag.
Luck for me all the parts were there.
We are to have then completed by our show, which is April 27th.

Thanks for looking in.

Wow, magnificent work Frank! Thanks for the memories too. I have one of these to do as well. Maybe when I finish these other huge planes I'm doing.

Looking forward to seeing more.
