Sometimes a project just gets ahold of me. The original Revell boxing of this had some issues with landing gear and vertical stab. I built it anyway and it never quite looked right.

A year later a magazine article described how to fix it and it has been stuck in my head these past 40 years. I purchased a fresh kit and slowly over time added details to the box

until I ended up with all of this. So now it's time to see what I can do with it.

Well since it's the Radial Engine Group build that is where I started.

 

This is the Revell engine. I had to replace the ignition conduit with some stainless steel wire and I still have to scratchbuild a prop governor to install between the magne
