Default RE: Warbird Racer Trinity-build

This thing is a MONSTER! I'm gonna have to buy a bigger truck or a trailer (hook me up Planebender!) just to get this thing out to the field.

#1 Look how much bigger it is than even an o-l-d 1/4 scale Fw190 fuse I have.

#2& 3 So I put one of my 1/8th scale P-39 fuses next to it for reference, and of course I can't keep the dogs out of my shots. Every shot one of them has to walk through the frame. It's like my build: it seems everyone and everything is conspiring against me to make it harder that it should be! But at least they offer another sense of perspective.

Talk about motivation to get back to work on the new 1/8th P-39 lay-up.

(Oh, and for those kind enough to call me the next day and ask how Devo (the whippet) was doing after I had to rush away from the Big Kahuna race, Sunday, she is doing great. Also in picture #2, you can see her wearing blue inflatable inner-tubes around her neck to attempt to make it more difficult for her to get at her stitches. . . so "no", I don't have bizarre tastes in animal collars.)
