How about a picture showing the front end.  What we can see looks good.

The pictures I posted are for the box art. The proto-type models do not get a nice finish and seldom see the cowlings. This first plane does not get an engine or even controls so I do not photo the front. But here you are.

So... That's just a long wood screw holding the prop in place?
That is so very Hollywood! What? No airbrushing the prints to eliminate wrinkles, pimples and laugh lines?  ;D

Actually, all kidding aside, that is actually a great way to get the effect you need for such pics for box art.
Truly it is a great looking plane Larry. Good job my friend.


How about a plug for the Skyrocket while you are at it? Any videos of either model?
Will either of these join the warbird series that you offer?

No, these have sheet wings and use the standard cox tank mounted engines, although the Navy Fighter can use the Cox production engine. The War Bird series is for a higher performance engine and plane. There might be a PT-19, Spitfire and Zero on there way to the War Birds.
        Chopped cowlings, and hardware hanging on the planes does not look good in pictures and that is why you never see it in the Scientific pictures either.

        Here is some more info about this model.
We have permission to kit the old Joy Product line of control line models and the free flight model "Nomad". The first model in this line was the "Pee Wee Pup" the second was the "Nomad" and this is the third model. The "Navy Fighter" is based on the "Stunt Runt", we altered the cockpit, wing struts and motor mounts. With these simple changes the "Navy Fighter" appeared. The fourth kit in this series will be the "Super Stunt Runt". It is a full build up fuselage with sheet wings. The prototype kit is on the way from the laser cutter now. It will be for .06 to .09 engines. Other kits in the series are "Pee Wee Pursuit" and "Thunder Bug".
Balsa USA is the current name of Joy Products.
