A new Brodak Bearcat kit arrived yesterday. What a package. I sat down with the 43 page instruction book and several supplement pages and had a pleasant read. Lots of work but very detailed with photos covering every aspect of construction. What a far cry from the kits of 35 years ago. A peek in the box to check a few parts, but not too much, lest the road map syndrome occur. (Trying to get everything to fit back in the box is like refolding a road map.)
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the newer kits today. I own several Brodak Kits along with one from RSM and a Stiletto kit from Walter Umland. The materials selected and the plans are first rate. I am going to really enjoy starting construction on these beautiful birds, once I get my shop finished. Soon, very soon, I hope.

I have built several of the Brodak kits. His work on the instruction manual should be a boon to new people. H^^

Dick,
You have been buying stuff at a commendable rate. I thought that i was the only keeper of the flame for the kit makers. But Dick, You just gotta show us a picture every now and then of your latest pride and joy. Inquiring minds (Nosey people) want to know.
Seriously you have to build or the swamp gets filled with allagators. We eagerly await news of your newest pride and joy's arrival.

Oh and you have some leway. I got 6 kits in one week so you have room to grow.
