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)
