Status: offline 		I`ve just come across this thread having just posted a query on this model on a previous one. Some weeks ago while in Australia I read a kit review on this model in a recent Australian RCM magazine - not to be confused with the defunct USA magazine.

Unfortunately I wasn`t able to retain a copy then, but was impressed enough to take steps to order one. This model is used for AT-6 racing in Oz. I heard that an unpainted version was available, and this was confirmed just today. That`s the one I`m going for.

I`d still be interested to learn what experiences anyone has had with this particular model.

Seems to me this must be very similar in size to the Midwest kit.

Status: offline 		I went back to Australia a couple of weeks ago and returned just yesterday with one of the unpainted ones as previously planned.

Has anyone else acquired one of these in recent times and want to swap construction notes? I have a few loose ends to tie up on other outstanding projects before starting on this one.

Doesn't look like the silver one has any paint so shouldn't have to worry about it chipping.
