l can't wait to start on this one.

Mine arrived today.  Boy-O-Boy, this is one awesome kit.  The kit arrives wrapped in a set of Colossus plans.  I have never ever been so careful un-wrapping a package.  Was able to save the wrapping intact.  Will hang in the shop soon.  Of course another set of pristine plans are included in the kit, but what a keen idea to wrap the kit box in a set of plans.

As I have said before, be careful when you open an Umland kit.  The balsa just floats out of the box.  I swear that wood has a negative weight.  I know Walter wants us to build and fly these planes; however, it seems a shame to disturb such a work of art.  These are truly collectable!!

Walter, you have really out done yourself with this one!!!!!!!!

I agree in that Walters kits are too beautiful to build.  I did build one of the Sweet Sweep Kits I obtained.  The P-39 is waiting to be finished.  Having trouble getting base coat done.  Also trying to decide if I want Olive Drab or a solid Red color.  Still breaking in the OS FP 40 that is going in the nose of  it.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday
