OK, took a road trip today from northwest CT to southeast PA to pick up the mystery ship. It was well worth the trip as the model only cost me $40. Not to bad, eh! The previous owner bought it sometime last year in up state New York at an estate sale. He doesn't know anything about it or have the plans or control surfaces. Anyway, the model is kit built, very nicely I might add. There's a fair amount of hangar rash, but nothing that can't be easily repaired. Specs of the model are:
Span: 64''
Chord: 14'' @ the root
Length: 52'' without the rudder
Stab span: 28''
The model has a fair amount of mold staining, anybody know how to rid the model of it? To help all of you experts, I'll post a bunch of pics. But after looking it over and comparing it with 8178's Blue Angel, I think that I have a version of the Blue Angel. What do you guys think?
