Thanks, gents! I will give HB credit where credit is due and the gunsight they provide in the kit is probably one of the best I have seen in a prop kit.

Thanks, Marco! After having had a rather bad past six weeks and a Mo-Jo slow-down myself, I have found this kit to be a real morale booster; a simple build which will be rounded out with a mono-chromatic paint scheme. Once again, I will give HB their due on this one as it has been a joy to build. I got the fuselage together and there were no problems there, other than having to shave a few mm's off the dashboard so the halves would join. I got the fuselage seams sanded and the only thing I added were two sheet stock strakes on the rear lower fuselage to replace the kit strakes since the seam ran down the middle of them and that would have been tough to fill. I was holding my breath for the wing fit but once again perfect fit and the wings joined the fuselage perfectly with no filling needed. I just have a few spots to clean up and then it will be time for primer. Regards, Ian     |

Nice work Ian! Looks great! Fast build!

. This will be mostly OOB and I will be building the French version from the Indo-China bump-up. What could possibly go wrong---overall Sea Blue(although these were highly weathered) and OOB?? Time will tell. They are neat aircraft though as Grumman managed to pack blistering speed and lots of firepower into a very small airframe.
