my only concern is did he use acrylics or enamel? How will the future take on this bird. Hope he had the foresight to drybrush the cockpit. Wonder if he will build it gear up or down? My God, what scale is that? Must be a new Trumpeter build. Oh those panel lines. Did he get an aftermarket kit from Verlinden? Must have used masking tape for the seatbelt. Oh boy, hypodermic needles for the guns. Does anybody know what the interior cockpit colors were on these? What about the wheel wells, same color?

Hmmmm... wonder if Hobby Lobby will have any of those in their 1/2 off sale??? (and wonder how many people you would run over in order to be the first one there when the doors open?)

Yes... Jerry Crandal... produced some incredible artwork over the years, many that are signed by the subjects represented.

Take care,
Frank

Looks like a beautiful restoration job. There is a company in Germany, Flugwerke
that has the "Butcherbird" back in semi-production. Check it out!

That would be fun project. Mocking up a full size plane for a museum exhibit. Or hanging my game room. 'course that would require a big house with a game room. And that would require winning the lottery. And that would require actually buying a ticket.... oh yeah the wife. Museum exhibit it is.Big Smile [:D]

Well, I did have the chance to partecipate to a restoration project like that.Smile [:)]

With Gruppo Amici Velivoli Storici (Association of Friends of Historical Airplanes) I helped to restore an Italian Airforce Spitfire IX which is now in Italian Airforce Museum at Vigne di Valle close to Rome. It was a truly amazing experience for a high school student !!
