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.
