    I finished this one up last night. I plan on posting an article soon. Meanwhile here's a few preview photos... I need to build a light box for photographing my builds.

    This is an original photo of one of the three prototype planes.


    and the completed model:

    The same picture in gray scale...

    Followed by a picture of Voss standing next to "F-103"

    and a photo of the completed model in a similar pose.

    Thanks for following along with this build. I missed the original deadline by two weeks and three days. Having a Major hurricane blow through our neighborhood and losing electricity didn't help with the delay.

    As usual, comments are encouraged.

    Take care.

    Louis - If my brother's to be believed as he [robably thinks he should, deadlines were designed elastically. Your self-imposed deadline was a brave thought remembering someone from the past that deserved to be remembered, irresoective of the flag he flew under. That said, you've done a grand job and I'm sure you can appreciate what you've done when you put F 104/17 alongside the original you built years ago. You should be chuffed with the result.
