Looks like it's Dave Deal day for some of us. here is another that's been long done but has been put away out of sight for some time now. Duplicolor red with dechromed exhaust. I tried my hand at faux wood on the prop. Came out pretty cool for a first try.

Viva Dave Deal!!!!!

Bob……Outa sight…….very cool model

[jeffs396]

Love it, great job!

[cobraman]

That is a cool one.

[Danno]

Very, very cool!

Nice clean build. I think I built all the Dave Deal kits back in the day......have a few mint kits to try again someday.

Many years ago I thought about the Dave Deal plane kits and wondered what a Tom Daniel plane based kit MIGHT look like.

This was the result.

BAD SPAD showrod........It was fun anyway!!!!

1/28 Revell Spad kit was the base.

Looks Great!

Very cool Bob !

The wood prop looks great as does the black exhaust , it does look better than the chrome !

I've got two of these to build again when I get the time .

[Dragline]

Thanks Bob. Aside from the terrible parting line that was going to be obvious I think the black exhaust strikes balance a bit. There is already quite a bit of chrome and figured I could not only get rid of a glaring flaw but also give it a tougher Hot Rod look.

Oh! And that's a serious looking contraption Dave.

GREAT job on this Bob!!

The wood on the prop is VERY convincing! LOVE it!

[RatRod]

Really nice Bob, it's great to see these kits getting built!!!

[Dragline]

Thanks John. What I've been looking for is the Flap Jack kit. I look on eBay and only see ads for sale. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough. If you know that kit then you know what a Hoot it is.

I had one as a kid and would like another shot at it. That thing flapped and jumped around like it missed its Ritalin dose.

I'll keep looking till I find one.

I forgot about this one! Looks great Bob!
