Welcome Carl and Jimmy! Carl the twokits that you found were they started or not? Nice find. I know what you mean about the Ryan bringing you back in time.
Jimmy can't wait to see some pictures of your model.... The Ryan has been a plane that many have remembered and admired, to that end why hasthere been little information on such a wonderful airplane? Hopefully through this thread we canresurrectthe Ryan and give itthe attention it deserves!
