Gosh, Ty. I built most of those as I was approaching being a teenager. Those hadn't come to mind for many years. Too many moves as an Air Force brat to have anything left of them. Post some pix when you can.
I'm still planning on a Firebaby this winter, tho.

Ty: Glad to hear John is still in the Speedy-Bilt biz. One of my most memorable planes I built as a child, (first stick-and-tissue model, previous were Strombecker solids) 1952 I did a P40 Warhawk, carefully. It came out so smooth I entered it in the contest at the hobby shop where I had purchased it 2 months previous...
The lady proprieter said I couldn't enter it, the contest was for wood planes, not plastic. An older boy said, "It's a Speedi-Bilt, not plastic..." he asked me how I got such a finish.
"Eleven coats of sanding sealer..." thay almost fainted. I won my class, was awarded 6 kits! (one of the won kits was a Speedi-Bilt Corsair. Great scale for its class)
