Lyle and Stuart, thank you guys! I agree I would also like to see on of these flying still.
Bruce, thank you for the kit and the exhaust pipes! My reference does show that lever not sure how to make it but that photo gives me a idea.

Tom thank you! I should have more in a few days ZM does make several versions in 1/32

How about an homage to Sheperd Paine? I really feel your work breathes the same air.

Great photos Bruce! I like the first one of it sitting on the runway in the snow, that could be a cool diorama right there. I think I will build her with the wings on but still all in bare metal not sure about recreating the putty. Then the diorama will be in a section of factory.

I did the 2 seater back as a kid. That put looks awesome. Nice work. That ladder and handle would be a cool addition.
Thanks,
John

Is it just me, or does this one look like it should be in some diesel punk/sci-fi movie :hmm:

It’d be a good escort fighter for the flying wing bomber in Raiders of the Lost Ark

Thank you! Yes she is going to be big! I've been trying to learn more about making better videos and so going forward I hope to improve the quality and tell a better story of the build process.

Bruce do you have any more Info on this aircraft? It looks to be unpainted and can tell the leading edge of the tail is in bare wood. I think this is what I would like to recreate, I really want to do this one in BMF for some reason.
