Hello, for those tired with more conventional planes, here is one quite a peculiarity. Of course, in your favourite 32nd scale.

What a great subject, and in 1:32!

 

Do you have any CAD to show us too?

 

Thanks for sharing Petr.

This is great news! Excited to see more photos or information

[Out2gtcha]

Awesome!

 

I watched LSPer Russ build his scratched XF5U with great interest prior to his UN-timely passing. Ive always been quite fond of this ugly (or beautiful depending on your perspective) lil thing and once released will DEFINITELY be buying a copy.

 

I really dig unusual air-frames and it doesn't come much more unusual than this.................

 

Way to go MpM!

Aw crumbs, I just noticed your Aces High Eddie pic... I was toying with adding that as mine. Maybe I'll go Trooper Eddie

 

Petr, do you have an estimated release date for this kit?

[rkranias]

WOW ! very much looking forward to it !!!............Harv

[JeroenPeters]

This is just amazing... I remember Russ' build too. This would make a great tribute..

[Daywalker]

Do you have an estimated cost for this kit?  Very intriguing, though cost will determine if I can buy a copy.
