thanks for looking ! as to the short wings I think I got a little carried away with the chopping
but it is a racer and the men in those days lived on the edge!
and as to the landing gear I plan on re-scribing them to resemble those on the me-209/109r so that would take care of the wobblies while on the ground and hopefully the 190 glass should help in escape.
not quite sure on the final paint scheme, but it will be racey!(hopefully).
arghh! BdB , why must you come up with such great ideas?
had not even thought of that, now just hoping to find another cheap airfix 109g in a bag again. don't have a wildcat but I do think I have a F6-F3 hellcat from hobbyboss.....hmmmm.
and attached is a plan view of the plane that inspired this build and a comparison shot of the racer and the other airfix 109 that I am working on.(same kit)
thanks again , Mike
