Hello Joe,

Can’t wait to see what you can do with that pedigree! Think we’ll all be learning...

Thanks all who replied and those who did not. Currently I am working on 2 scale subjects. One is a Schneider Trophy Racer, Savoia Marchetti S 51 and a Macchi M.5. I could use help with the IF engine in the Macchi. I do have HPH kit which will help.
