For what its worth, the folks at Fisher say they are eventually going to scale down their RF-8 to 72nd scale. |

Now, that is some great news. An easy to get "Fisher Style" RF-8. The "easy way" today takes two conversion kits and a base kit,,,,,,,and a lot of time. |

So, you've also done the "add Muroc nose to RF-8 conversion kit on a base kit" thing? Which conversion did you do it with? The Falcon vac or the Ventura "lump thingy"? |

Best title ever! :lol: I don't know too much about F4U-4P's and -5P's but I think they fit in. I really don't know if there's any good archive photo material on them. But they saw extensive use in Korea too. |

NOW we're talkin'! I will look forward to this, Mark!
Buz P.S., What was it that you were telling me about the RAREPLANE Curtiss SBC-3 fuselage being too short, Mark? I appreciate if you could refresh my memory on what had said. Thanks! Buz |

It's Mis-matched, the fuselage. Which is why I had to make a conversion. Using the Rareplane fuselage as is, it gives you an odd looking cross-section. |
