I haven't built an airplane kit since the 'fifties, but at age 77 I'm motivated to try a few. My project is to build both the Hasewgawa Shinden and Modelsvit Curtiss Ascender as the might have evolved with turbojet power! I love the looks of both, canard with swept wings, and am amazed at the similarity. displayed; how neat if both had been moved up in technology and performance in 1:1 ! I need some 'fifties style tip-tanks, moderate size for the Curtiss P-55, and a glue-bomb early jet figter fuselage for the tail=pipe area, if such is available out there. FINE SCALE MODELER would prob. be the best place to look, but I'm not on that forum, yet. I can swap car parts (mostly early '60s) and a few extra bits from theser two kits, props etc. The Shinden has a six-bladed prop! I have a J-47 from an old Crusader kit that I resin copied for these; might share one of those? I want to mount the two on their gear, facing one another, semi-diorama style. Well, those 1:48 parts are sure small! Pretty cool, gettin a kit from Ukraine! Wick
