Again, I always get a lot of comments about the backdrop where I take pictures. Someone called it "My Garage.":D Good name I guess.
Anyway, The spoke wheels and the clear tape canopies are being made for display at the next card model convention.Doing the WWII canopies first and then the Jets. In addition the engines and spoke wheels will eventally go on future models.

I have given away over 60 models to family and friends. So I have a lot of rebuilds to do.:D I'm told most I have given away will be hung form the ceilings of their kids rooms. My daughter tells me every time she puts the Grand Son to bed, he asks her to blow on the planes and get them moving for him.:D:D:D TRAIN UM EARLY

Don't look to close Don:o I done this one a long time ago. It is also the small one. Still have the large one to do.

[Don Boose]

Much better than mine! Especially the inset engine and thew signature Bob Martin clear canopy. Nothing whatsover to do with your Focke Achgelis helicopter, but I am posting my SB2U, poor as it is, just to remind folks that I have been known to stumble through a build at rare intervals.

Incidentally, Bob, I will soon be announcing the Papermodeler's display for Army Heritage Day here in Carlisle -- not so far from Northern West Virginia?

Bob, first chance I've had to look at the Fa-61... Great build!!!
I remember watching a video of the original flying inside of a stadium. She was a great pilot. You've done her and the aircraft justice with this good clean build.
