Barry, I did not know the A-17 was ever known as a Nomad. Learn something new every day!

Thanks Lou, I should have something more to post in this thread during 2011.

Dave I think the name 'Nomad' came from its RAF connection when some were purchased from France.

I neglected to post my Airacobra to this thread.

I found the P-39 an easy build and would do nicely for a beginner.

Construction has begone and has reached the point where all pieces are rough cut and ready for some serious carving using X-Acto knife and chisel. I deviate from the plans by building in the dihydral rather than cuting and gluing. It uses a bit more wood but I prefer that method.

You can compare the Mosquito and Devastator wing spans in the first photo.

That's an amazing collection Lou! Soon you'll be catching up to Barry. I take it the upper shelf is plastic kits? They look equally impressive.

Thank you all. I want to do a seperate display area for the WWII ID but alas, money is a great hinderance these days.
