Looks great Kevin!!! I like how you built up the props a bit. Great work. I really like how the B-24 prop hubs work too. I use them for all of the big FG planes.

Kevin, that is one of the best FG builds I've ever seen. Simply beautiful! I think you've got a strong contender there!

I understand Chips philosophy about keeping his models simple and easy to build, that's fine for the smaller birds, but on a larger model like this I think formers would actually help make it even easier to build. I'm not saying that this is a bad model or anything like that, please don't get me wrong...in fact, everything so far has fit perfectly... Just that cutting some simple formers out of 1/4" foam core is not that big of a deal...Not meaning to cause any problems, I'll close my mouth now...just my two cents, that's all.
Have you noticed that he always includes one or two cross section drawings that are actually former templates.

Kevin,
No doubt you have done a terrific job here. Just love the modifications and improvements you added here and there (those props simply rock!). I want to thank you for sharing all this with us... any chance you can build that beautiful Ju 52 from Fg in a similar fashion?

Beautiful model, Kevin. I'm seeing it for the first time today. Look forward to seeing it up close at Army Heritage Day next month.
