Not quite the correct "Trinity", but a trinity nevertheless. Here is the P-47on its brand new, ready-to-coverwing. The new P-39 fuse is in the background, on an old wing. (I cartwheeled the last P-39 and only the wing and the hatches survived, so I am puttingthemto use with this fuse.) I also have another P-39 that I've had just aboutready to paint for almost a year now. I just have to cover the ailerons and elevators and glue them in, and fabricate the rear hatch cover. All three of these will be olive drab, so I was hoping to prep and paint them all together, at the same time.

The newP-51 (still in the mold, so it is not pictured) will be modeled after the Red Baron, but because Ron (fromDowntown Hobbies)and "Bushman" already race multiple Red Barons in its traditional markings, I am going to do a custom color scheme so they can be distinguished from each other.

It has sucked not having a plane to race for the last two years. My goal with this build was to assure I wouldn't find myself in that position again. Assuming I don't crash any in the meantime, when I am done, I will have 2 P-39s, 2 P-47s, and 2 P-51s. That ought to keep me in raceplanes for awhile, so I can start working on new projects, without worrying about not having a plane to race.
