Nice! I don’t think i ever saw that with a kit before…

Those are one of the little things that can really make a model stand out. I dom’t see why every kit maker does not put placrds on the decal sheet for the cockpits and landing gear. An Fw 190 has 2 on each strut and the kits sheet just don’t have them.

The patient survived the operation… but it was touch and go for a while[;)]

Simply awesome fella. I thought it looked great in the beginning but now with the flaps right, Sublime fella. The engine looks like a work of art. Did you get any shots of it before you went and shoved a huge cowl round it [banghead] LOL.

10 out of 10.

Sweeeeeet! I like it.

QUESTION: was it common to see Jugs sitting around with the flaps hanging out?

26

Damn fine work my good man!

27

Thnaks all.

Dave I think it’s like a P-51… when parked the hydrolic pressure bleeds off and the flaps come down. Every Jug I have seen at airshows has the flaps down in that fashion.

Here ya go Guy
