Mark V the perfectionist in me won’t allow compromise! 😀

Mark (Corsair166b), I forgot to say that yes, I will keep you guys up-to-date.

Speaking of up-to-date… my website is up-to-date for the first time in over a year. Please have a look if you’re interested 🙂

Mark, I use photographs as well as drawings. But I need good drawings to get the outlines and panel lines etc correct. Then photos to fill in the details and cross-reference if the drawings were accurate.

Laurent, thanks. I’ve actually compared the drawings with those (which are undoubtedly accurate!) and it actually seems the Japanese drawing set is the winner. the cowling size and location of panel lines seems to be most in line with the official construction drawings and station numbers (which represent inches). The Vought drawings, surprisingly, are the least accurate…

It continues to surprise me though how hard it seems to be to create accurate drawings of such a well-known subject. I had similar difficulties finding reliable references for my P-51D Mustang model.

Thanks again guys! Glad you like em! 🙂

Regarding the Jungmann… perhaps the commentator meant that a Jungmann was once stolen from Germany. Most internet sources list this example as a Spanish built model (which seems more likely). Would be nice if this machine had a more lively history, though 🙂
