Robert,I'm glad my post got your juices flowing. I'm fully certain that most Jetco Shark kits that were sold were probably not started,never completed, or opened and put back on the shelf. Can you imagine pre gluing all of those pieces with Ambroid back then? Compared to the Ringmasters and such that we flew as kids, you open that Shark kit box,see all of that wood think twice!!!. You better have your "big boy" pants on to tackle one. Anyway, best of luck with yours,now get building!
