Ken,
All your efforts have paid off. One classic aircraft built and finished beautifully.
Give that man a cigar!
Well done

Bob

cool!

The 28 is the one that draws me towards 1/32 (that and the much promissed Wing Nut RE8). Well done.

Ken...she looks great (as usual). I'm just glad I'm not going up against you at the regional today.

Break a leg.

Wow, and a question...

Absolutely beautiful. You must have the hands of a surgeon.

Seeing this jogged a question I've always had (sorry if it's a bit off topic): why was one of the 28's guns offset on the fuselage?

Thanks again everyone! As far as why the machine guns were offset, it was because there was no room to mount them any other way with the oil/fuel tank etc. in the way! also I believe for convenience of service.....?
