Thanks Pappy. Are you who I think you are? If so I also sent you an email earlier today.
I appreciate any and all assistance.
Any pictures that anyone can share will be appreciated. I'm especially looking for the center section and any skeletal pictures.

As for goals, I want to attempt to make it as close to scale as I can.
Here is what I am working on:
Carrier based, but squadron paint scheme not yet decided
Folding wings with working latch indicator
Sliding canopy - this will open when throttle is less than 20% and flaps are full down
Moving pilot - head moves when ailerons move, feet with rudder, left arm on throttle and will move with throttle changes, right arm on the stick so it will move when elevators and ailerons move
Detailed cockpit with some help
Working nav lights
True to scale hinges and possibly functioning flap control arms (lots to work on with that one)
Panels, rivets
Maybe a drop tank

Keep in touch!

P.S. I love your signature!
