Its taken awhile but with info rcv'd from Mr. McCullough and going through many old issues of mags it was designed mid 75 and late 75 early 76 when the MK II showed.

The original manual was changed slightly to ease construction, but featured the same photos as the ones today without the MK II of course. The kit stayed the same except for the F' bulkheads and the way they were cut, in order to laminate together and form the firewall.

Never did find out about Hazel J. but as soon as I get the rest of the decals redrawn I will add her name as the nose art.

It was fun doing this one again, and I really enjoyed the letters from Claude McCullough and the pics he sent along with all the searching.

I did opt for a build up of the turtle deck and made my own glass cowl instead of the abs ones, they seemed a little brittle. The decal sheet was an aged golden yellow so I am getting them redrawn on stik tight type film.
