Talk about an absolute stunner!

Love the discussion on the color scheme too. Interpreting old photos is always interesting.

A mighty fine example of the old "yellow wings"!

As I commented in your "interesting USN planes" thread, this is a nicely done kit. How does the cockpit measure up? I ask as I searched online and saw the kit comes with some PE parts, but I couldn't find anything about the interior.

I've never seen an LF kit before, but they certainly offer models of types I would love to add to my collection (an Airabonita anyone?).

Cracking build! So colourful in that scheme!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
