Okay, Into the breach I step.

This horrible concoction of parts has been setting on the shelf of doom for quite some time now.
This GB is what it was waiting for.

The fuselage is the terrible Pegasus MB.5. Was the only (cheap) game in town until AZ released their kit
The wings are from the Italeri F6F Hellcat
The horizontal stabs are from the Monogram F8F Bearcat.
The tail and propeller are from the PM Sea Fury.
Will add other bits as the build progresses.

Yes, this one has such potential. If you can’t get to it now we can save it for later.
