And... Steve Remmington is an all around good guy willing to suggest good ideas and trails to follow. I have a Allyn Sales P-51 that had broken prop blades and no canopy. Steve suggested carving a new canopy from an acrylic block and polishing it. It does present well. The other was to modify a resin prop from a 1/48 assembly (blades and hub seperate) in such a way as to be able to reverse the assembly if Vahalla drops an original prop into my lap.
Finally, one of Steve's latest aquistions, the YB-49 Flying Wing, was something I located for him in eastern Indiana. I suspect the proximity to Wright-Patterson AFB where all experimental airplanes were reviewed (1940-1955), was the reason for the find. Look under the Annex #4 for the YB-49. The shipping box that I made for the model was quite a challenge but it came through successfully.
