Grumman ZF5F-1 Skyrocket... short nose version
A fun build. Added antenna wires using black stretched sprue. Tail rudder didn't include tabs for antenna wires so I scratch built them.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, those Minicraft kits are fun kits to do. I’m glad I deviated from the instruction guide with the nacelles assembly and installed them my way. It all worked out as planned.

Well one down...now to find the windscreen!
Testors (nee Hawk) 1/48 Curtis Racer.
Nice simple kit. Only about 20 parts (if you don't lose any). Just about as many rigging pieces as parts.

This little rascal debutted in 1932's Thompson Trophy Race. With a length of just over 17 feet and a wingspan of 20.5 feet, she was fast, too....191.073 (1932), 199.870 (1933) and 207.064 (1934).
