GOOD IDEA; but do not use the FM kit, Kittyhawk is better, but not easy at all

Ah... duly noted...

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...

and the Photo Cougar, F9F-8P from Kittyhawk, School of Ptography NAS Pensacola 1961, much better kit, lot of details and options to build a fighter or a recce, 5 marking options...and some fit problems, but muc better than FM

Wow! Those Rec versions always seem to be colorful! Loving it!!

That is bright!!!! Need some shades to look at that one. Very nice build!

thanks speedgraflex, the collection is big and finding a place is sometimes the bigger problem than the building.

here is the new home for both
