Hey thanks,This was a group effort. A couple of friends made the lower ball pieces(Jack Mcgaughy and Jim Black)with help from Nick Veronico and Bill Stynzak for the really excellent drawings.Urbana will fit the tail gun when they get the back end of the fuselage done.Hey Dave we're taking about you. Now on to the Stinger(2) for a couple of early models.
