kits are still alive! I am attaching 5 pics of a 180 inch wingspan F4U-1 Corsair that is currently being built! This beautiful beast was HANDCUT by Cornell Michael Kitcutting who is at www.kitcutter.com! Believe me folks, it may take him a long long time to cut something like this but those people that have gotten one of his kits, they do overall love his work. I myself got a P-61 Black Widow in 1/5th scale cut by him, and more recently the 1/4 scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang!
