A few quick shots. Looking fwd to Moe and Mike's scenes. Maybe this was already mentioned, but the model has movable flaps and retractable tail hook. :smile2: I need to adjust the ammo panels. Chris

Pretty special plane. Nice pickup. Robin.

Awesome looking model, Chris. Bet it would likewise shine mounted on a stand. You mention that it has moveable flaps and tail-hook. I noticed that the ailerons also appear to move, as I'm sure does the canopy and prop. Anything else, the wheels perhaps?

A beauty. An iconic plane. Does the pilot come with the plane?

Oops, I meant aeilerons, wheels do not, which is good l think.

Picked up the pilot separately, Chris

A real beauty, Chris. By far my favorite Navy fighter of WW2. Looks fantastic with the pilot sitting in the open cockpit, an iconic look in so many photos. -- Al

Agree Joe wish he had gone ahead with his Stuka.
Wonder if a Zero is in the wings

That is unfortunate as there are so many Japanese aircraft that haven't been done in affordable mediums. John makes what he likes but it might not hurt to let him know that there is interest in Japanese aircraft. -- Al

Al, I was surprised he stated he was not going into the Jap(anese) acft line as it would seem to be a natural addition to the IJN carrier flight decks being offered by JJD. Maybe the market already satisfied by the numerous KC offerings. Chris

Chris, maybe the market has been met, but I think John is missing a chance here. While I like my KC Zero, I would love to see what JJD would do with it, not to mention aircraft like the Claude, Nate, Oscar, Frank, etc., not to mention the many inter-war biplanes the Japanese flew before the war. Such a vast and largely untouched subject. -- Al
