Well, Gee Bees do sort of have a history of giving their owners grief....

Cool!

Glad to see you back, Dave. Did you move far?

I'm sure by now the enamel is all off the ones I used to have, Paddy. Mine maybe ran cooler than others because I frequently set the mixture. I was careful about that because several times when I was at the British Motors dealer there was a hapless individual holding up a piston with a hole in...

I have built one of these in the bomber resupply set and have two more. Wish I could find the same in 1/48.

Well done!

I always wondered how Jaguar thought the enameled finish on the exhaust manifolds was supposed to last. But at 100,000 miles most of it was still on them on mine. Pretty crackly looking, though, but not rusty that I recall. Pretty impressive as sometimes I could see them glow at night through...
