Mike, unfortunately we will not be at Thunder over Louisville. I wish that one was a possability for us, looks like it is going to be a great show.
I believe as of right now our first show is the Indy Air show June 22-24. Indy isn't too bad of a drive from Louisville however. You should try to make it out; if you are able to you can find me and I will arange a private tour of the plane for you. |

More work on the "Harpoon"
Hello Again
Today I had to do yard work. These mild winters are cutting into otherwise available time. So I did some more detail work on the plane when I got inside about noon. I added some paint detail to the props and turned them to the right angle. I added the Air inlets on the top and the bottom of the engine cowlings. I put the Navy insignia on the bottom of the wing. I put the Hot stuff logo in position, although I am going to make this a high resolution when I make the PDF. I set back the engine facing surface to give it some depth. Not sure if I am going to include engines. However I have built a lot of these and am really tempted to add it in. The shadows are correct for Louisville Ky as of 5:45P.M. today for those of you wondering. I added those because it is a beautiful day outside.

I think I am going to make it more detailed. Not like Modelek just a little behind it.

I just purchased your MB ejection seat. Looking forward to purchasing this one, too.

More Progress...
Well here is another update. I worked on the wheels and the wheel wells. The wheel strut. The tips on the end of the main wings. The tail wheel. The Pratt and Whitney engine.
The engine is going to be presented as a flat disk with the image on it, and the full engine on the mounting frame. The option to build the full engine with the cowl off comes from no other than Willjay. His Corsair in my opinion was a Masterpiece. You have no idea how complex a design that was until you start designing models. My hat goes off to Will.
