Carl is a great builder and designer so he wasn't a rookie at that time. I like this aircraft also, it featured many times on the tv show black sheep squadron.
Ted just an interesting aside, more information about the aircraft I’m modeling in addition to being on Ford Island Dec7 1941 it also went west with the Allied island hopping campaign assigned to marine fighter units so may actually have been in service with Boyington’s outfit... not sure what they were using the aircraft for, “utility “ and one would think search and rescue.
