I totally missed this update!

Wonderful work Randy.

And is that the kit engine just with the Barracuda updates and your touch?

There are only so many superlatives in the language. It's all amazing, but those hose clamps put it over the top. They are ridiculous in the best possible way.

I know my way around PE and when I had enough practice with the resistance solderer, I could assemble 1/35 german tool clamps so they worked, but the astounding thing is how clean your build is. You AC guys always amaze me with the pristine finishes, but there's no 'yips' no matter where you look. I truly don't know how you pull it off. :idonno

Word on the street is Randy has a giant thumb and that's really like a 1:6 scale aircraft.

Update time..........


These first pics show some progress on diorama details. Putting together a 'sissor' lift that the restoration shop uses to lift and move airframes in the shop....

The lift will get casters and more work on the details.



Making up the Bendix PT13 carburator and more details.....

Some paint and the start of the plumbing...

Thanks for looking in!
