Air Racers!

[airdave]

and work continues on the next Air Racer model today...another T6,
and after that, I'll give that zebra stripe 'Stang a try.
I'm still trying my hardest to avoid that Picasso that Ray posted.

...
in the meantime, heres a sneak peek at another Mustang Air Racer that will be added to the set...

I finished this one some time ago, it was a special request from my friend Shane.
And he took the first copy to do a test build for me.
This is the plane, #5...circa 1966



and more info here: Pylon1 - Photo Gallery - Race #5 N7715C - 1966

Unfortunately Shane has had some computer issues and the build has been delayed.
But he sent me a photo today which confirms all I need to know
and now I can close up this package.




So, this Mustang will be added to the "Air Racers" collection
and there should be plenty to choose from!

I will hopefully do a fund raiser at the end of August or sometime in September...
make all the Air Racer models available to pick from
and offer up some group packages as a fundraiser.
I want to maintain the exclusivety of the kits, so I won't be putting them into ecardmodels.

Thanks everyone, for showing a big interest in this.

This is right up my alley. I like planes with unusual paint jods.
It's going to be a busy winter.

Kind of like the wreck on the freeway, you don't want to look,
but you can't help yourself!

I knew you couldn't resist doing it!

Shane just sent me a more up to date photo
of the #5 air racer Mustang...that I just had to post!

note the new Spinner design?

I put out these (Spitfire based) spinners as a mod for the P51D Mustang kits.
I felt they were much smoother and better shaped than the spinner currently in my Mustang kits.
However, they are a little trickier to build...4 parts instead of three, and one very small part.
But I think the end result is worth it, so these will become a permanent modification
for all future Mustang kits.

I'll let everyone know when the builds done and ready to display. It's built like the other kits that Dave has offered. I went with glossy photo paper and it's . . . . . . . well it's been interesting. This is only my second attempt at anything other than the fiddlers green kits. And my second airdave kit all together. I want to thank him for letting me do the first build on this one.

Aldo Dave wonder if these Fiddlersgreen kits might spark some more interest?

[airdave]

well, to jump from an FG kit to this one, is quite the jump.

but apparently that jump has been very easy for you.

That #5 racing looks pretty cool in the black and orange. Almost a Harley Davidson theme going on that one.
