Wow Lyle! That is stunning work! You are DA MAN!!

I built one of these in 1/72 scale as the plane depicted in the "Porco Rosso" movie. It was small enough that I didn't bother rigging mine.

Thanks, Mark. You too kind.

As small as these are, iT is hard to the ember they are 1/48th!

Calling this one done. It isn't, but I am. It will be finished when I find the windscreen ... about the size of a pencil eraser. I had it in my hands not more than 30 min ago. Oh well.

Thank you Mike and Carlos.

Now, if I could just keep clear parts in hand....I tried to contact "Testors". Well, Rustoleum now. Chatted with a nice fellow name of Mark. No, they have no parts for any of the Testors kits, but they still have some UH-60 Blackhawk kits. Would I like one? Sure, why not. So, I'm getting a free kit.

You can never go wrong with a Blackhawk :hmm: One of my favorite rides :wink:

A thought for future small bits like your missing windscreen… tape them to the instruction sheet for safekeeping until needed. Im sure that yours will turn up soon.

Too bad Kitty Hawk went under. Their Blackhawk/Seahawks were nice.
