One I have had a desire to do for a long time...

One thing I should get straight early on...I am looking at this one being a payware release.
 
There is a beautifully restored Globe Swift at my local airport, I might be able to get to images of the real thing if you are interested ... Mike :salute:
 
I might take you up on that. There is one at the local field that my Dad has done some metal work on, and I have a contact through work that owns one.
 
Those are some cool mods, but I need to keep it down to one or two versions in order to keep the price down.
Tonight I worked on the blending of the stabilizers to the fuselage...

Just a quick question Robert, anything on the P-61 Black Widow? Really looking forward to this great aircraft for Marianas 1945.

Well, that's certainly understandable, so if I might make an argument for the so-called Super Swift. It's perhaps the most common of the Swift mods - usually an up-engined GC-1B model with a very attractive bubble canopy and many have been further modified to utilize joysticks for control instead of the usual semi-circular control yokes...

I completely missed this thread, looking very nice Robert!

Nice pic! The vapor trails off the prop blades is one you don't catch too often.
So the last couple of nights I have got the tail pretty well dialed in, and I have started working on the wings.

Please give us an option of modern nose bowl on the beautiful Swift. Sometimes the old "smile" looks a little archaic on a sleek paint scheme.
