I hope you guys like the tailgun.My friend Jack McGaughey of wing car fab made the skins for this one and the second one coming right behind the one on the table.Jack has gone the extra mile on these skins and without his help we would be dead in the water.Thanks again Jack.

Hey gary,The one in the picture is for Brooks' F model and there is another one in a million parts which belongs to the Rat.All the parts are done for both and there will be an additional kit left over.As soon this one is done the next will go together very fast.

I fitted the new top skin today and it lays on there really good.Which is nothing short of a trick because the original was just a bit rough.Its one thing to replicate parts from good patterns and a whole nother nightmare from damaged pieces.Will post some more pics when I have fitted some additional parts.Cant wait to start on a Nose.

I imagine that the nose and cockpit would be the most "fun" part of the aircraft to work on, and as equally as challenging....I am trying to work things out to get up and see the Project Tom. Looking forward to the pics
