Back then wings were kites or hot air balloons… :giggles:

If the date of completion is far enough in advance, I will enter with a Boeing Pursuit-12E in 1/4 scale built from an Aurora kit. I will build this with no aftermarket, no airbrush as out of the box as possible. Paints will be applied with brushes, and I think I will freeball the registry numbers, too.

The kit from Aurora is quite beautiful!

Thanks, Lyle! That deadline will work. I want to have fun and not necessarily be detailed when I build this kit. I also have the F4-B4 by Aurora which fits the GB rules. Both with clear stands, too.
