Joe's 1/48 Monogram OS2U Kingfisher-Better Canopy Masks-01/05

Welp.....this all came in the mail today. Blacksheep has been working away on his Kingfisher and I've always wanted to build a Kingfisher BUT....never liked the Monogram kit. When I went on a search for a possible newly released kit from a possibly different manufacturer, I turned up with nothing but all these newer released Monogram/ Revell kits. However, I did find an update set from Flightline Engineering that was worth its weight in gold. Pretty much every aspect of this kit has been upgraded/ revised by this guy. Beautiful update set for around $50 shipped.

In any case, Tom, if you're in here....thanks for the inspiration. I hope to start this holy grail build very soon:

Awesome. Another Kingfisher build. I'll be watching yours and Toms to see how the detail sets work out. Always been a fan of the Kingfisher.

Looking forward to seeing the magic you do to this one. The PE bits are a pain. Just sayin’.....

Right??!! It's the only way I would've started one of these. For years I wished that another manufacturer would've released this aircraft in 1/48 scale but this right here is the next best thing. I'll need some help along the way to keep from stuffing a blown small black Chevy engine into it though.

Kitty Hawk was going to before they went out of business. Can't wait to see the build.
