I got a postcard from Walter A. Musciano. He's out of the hospital and living in a small house near his son. He is getting back into designing and building models.
Walt mentioned that he has finished his new book about the Corsair, but not that it has cleared publishing and gone on sale as of yet.
As most (but maybe not all) people know, Walt was the chief designer of Scientific Models and produced countless 1/2A's as well as bigger models.
