Hey cool Larry glad your Kubdet is a keeper. Ya know I think the Seniors are the most kit bashed airplanes ever. There are as many different ways to approach this too some like me want the airplane to be recognizable as to what it really is but yet something else entirely and the other extreme is to completely fool the folks as to the origin.

The most radical along that line that I ever came across was some years ago at the London Bridge float fly someone from the northwest had bashed one into a twin engine floatplane bomber with very scale like nacelles. He had redone all the tail feathers with curves and done the fuse with rounded top and bottom making the airplane look like a mid wing. This one had me stumped until I came to the wingtips and that was the giveaway. It was a great kit bash and flew very well indeed.
