Your P36 should be a hit and I think anyone that does not take advantage of your offer will regret it latter.
Place your orders with Matthew now before you miss out!!

Except for the canopy.

Ok Guys,
The resin came in today. I will do the last pours for the kits and then it is time to make the fully built version. Thank you everybody who has purchased a kit. They will go out Monday . Don't forget if you have any problems or get stuck I am just an e-mail away. I will also give the guys who purchased the kit my home phone. Just in case.
Thanks Guys,
Matthew

Great work on the cockpit PH. It's awesome that now don't have to screw with the fuselage (less windscreen). Can't wait to get my kit! :D

i am in since the start of this project !!!!!! as a French i can only support matthew on this project ! i can't wait to see the french version ( fisrt to shoot down a me 109 in France but i think in poland some were destroyed before ????)

any way it's truly amazing ! so many customs ! and such a good comunication ! maybe the brand could see an opportunity to sell some conversion kits far all their models (i dream of a 2 seat marine version of the F 18 ! with mavericks and PGM bombs + laser pods !!!)

What a great time to collect giant planes !!!!!!!!!!!!

i will move soon in a real hangar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:
