Better detail...especially with the main gears. A bit more difficult to build....seams in the gearbay areas that are impossible-ish to take care of, and had to scratch a new part (big blocky looking thing with lightening holes) in the gearbay/wingfold. If ya want a trouble free build, go for the Eduard...if ya want a wingfold, go for the Dragon!


#2...Eduard "weekend" kit.

Marked as LT C. K. "Ken" Hilderbrandt, VF-33, Ondongo, 1943.










On to #3!!!

Thanks guys!

...and, here's the last one of the batch!

Eduard "Profipack", marked as LT Wm. C. Moseley, VF-1, USS Yorktown, 1944.
I've always been a fan of "spray painted" #s on the nose of Navy birds, but this is the first one I've done.
