Very nice Lou, I think your dioramas are great. I,ve made some templates for this one.Regards Paul J.

lastvautour

I need to rework some of the templates and add better dimension references. Thanks for the pat on the back.

Very nice indeed Lou. But, of course, if McKay sees it he'll buy it. Which is always nice in itself. For if you have a ready market, even if you have to throw in the hangar, you have at least some bargaining power ;).

Thank you Cliff. McKay will not buy this one. It does not cost enough to hide the reaL cost.

Your like the Skunk Works of the solid modeling world.  Pretty soon you're going to have more aircraft than the RCAF  ;)

Nice going Lou, I don't know whether to do a single or double seater, I might do one of each.Regards Paul J.

lastvautour

Peter I do have more aircraft than the RCAF.
Paul, I used http://www.flickr.com/photos/31186322@N06/6006878804/in/photostream as a guide to the two seater canopy.
