    Here's where I'm at with the TBolt. I got the body seams filled and the ones at the horizontal stabilizers. I also added some styrene Model Sunday 4-18-2010 to tighten up the space between the rudder and the tail. Now I'm starting to work on the wings. Things are going slowly. Life situations always seem to get in the way.

    I can't wait to see your jug completed. Man that was a big fighter. I had a chance to sit in one 2 weeks ago at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. The cockpit is so big, you could camp in there.



    That museum is one of the cleanest I've ever been in. Stunning aircraft. it's a shame they don't fly them anymore. The insurance was out of sight.

    Keep the updates coming.

    Ah, you lucky so and so. I would have loved to sit in one of those things. I did try on a p 38 once but that was a small pit. I haven't been inside a P51 but from what they say, you con't get into one, you strap it on.

    I would love to sit in the P-51 as well.....That same day I sat in a P-39. It's 1/2 the size of a P-47
