Now THAT'S how it's done right there Michael. LOTS of detail and exceptional build. Just unbelievable workmanship that went into this build and it all looks very convincing. 

Sorry for the loss of your two friends bud.

Thanks Joe!  This one was hard to give away but my friend Craig is excited to get it.  He should have it Saturday.  I can't wait to hear what he has to say when he sees it.

Models as gifts ALWAYS go over well. Especially when they are this well built. Good on you man.

He asked me if I'd build it for him and I couldn't say no.  He's giving me some stuff for this which is extremely generous of him.  Craig's a great guy and I was happy to build this for him.

I built a Corsair for an older friend of mine for Christmas around 8 years ago and I thought the old fella was gonna fall out when I gave it to him. It's a good feeling for sure.

The K&N Air Cleaner is a resin part I got from Ron Coon.  It's item number AC_9 and is $1.75.

The 442 arrived safely at my friend Craig's house today.  He loves it.  Here are a couple of pictures he sent me.  He took a picture of the model on the roof of his 442 and a picture in his curio.
