Hello everyone,
I’m starting to assemble this Roden kit:

These are the aftermarkets that I will use …

I am looking for more information and photographs of the original aircraft and if anyone could help I would be very grateful.

I have this kit, so I’ll be following your build with great interest.

If you haven’t seen my long-stalled build, take a look at my blog: BY JOVE! Gurummann’s Toothy Mohawk

Chuk, I use to see your incredible work at hyperscale and use to enjoy the extra art work. Beside your blog do you post anywhere else?

Thanks, Stryker45! I’ve been on a hiatus in modelling, and Springtime has a lot of demands on my time right now- but I’ll be back. I’ll still post on Hyperscale , Finescale, Modeling Madness and even the ARC forums- as long as they’re up. Cheers-
Chuck

Life is full of distractions and hiatus but whenever you do pick up your next modeling adventure I hope you will find your way here. Well, run and maintained forum and user friendly.

Absolutely stunning work! Please continue to post updates as you complete the build. I can’t wait to see it finished.

It really took a lot of patience to put it all together…
