GOOD IDEA; but do not use the FM kit, Kittyhawk is better, but not easy at allBlackSheep214 wrote:Very colorful! Now you've got me wanting one to add to the stash. Never thought it had very nice lines. Well done!!

Re: 1:48 Grumman F9F Cougar
CL tThat looks top notch! You can never go wrong with Jolly Rogers markings! Maybe you could do a series of builds covering that from the F4U to the Super Hornet...

Congratulations on both models, Cherrylock. Your work is incredible. Thanks so much for posting both, too. You have an inspiring collection of models. You must have a great display case! How do you display them?
Make more models!
