I cannot believe someone is trying to sell this. If I have built it I would be ashamed.

Is it my imagination or are the wings on backwards? Perhaps it's supposed to be "Humor in modeling" or something. ;~)

I wonder if Vessticles built it as an example of his great modelling skills :-P
Jimi
He had to have spent most of that 20 hours of construction time getting those wings on backwards. Then again, maybe North American built it wrong to start with. ;-)

In addition to that, is it my imagination or did they scrounge up another main strut from another kit for the tail wheel? I wouldn't normally bag on another modeller's skill or lack thereof, but this is insane.

It just occured to me, maybe the guy is a fan of "Flight of the Phoenix" and this is his own personal send up. ;-)

but he spent 20 whole hours! that should be worth 50-75 cents.
On the lighter side. it must have taken considerable wok to get the wings to fit that way ;~p

No. He spent most of those 20 hours relighting his pipe.
HA! Good one.

Either it was a ruse/joke or the seller's embarrassment finally got to be too much and he/she must have pulled the item as it now comes up "invalid item" when you click on the link.
