For those of you having trouble with "fiddly" bits, this first release is in 1/48 scale.

Check www.lbirds.com/store.htm for the kit.

It is in the markings of a USAAF bird in the Philippines.

$6.50 may seem a bit high, but Roman and I've put a lot of work into the kit, and I'd like to be able to sponsor several more kits. Any money coming into this project is going to further the project...

I just got mine in 1/72. Very nice. I wish you luck and hope to see more.

it might help sales if you posted pictures of a finished model so we can see what it looks like.

Well, honestly I haven't fully finished the model yet, but I have built the observer version, and fully tested the fuselage of the ambulance version. I did have to make some edits before the current release version (2.1). I can say that I'm satisfied that anyone who builds it will find that it fits. Here are some pictures of the last beta build...

Ok guys, here's a picture of the almost completed Ambulance Version model - I just noticed that I forgot to add the exhausts however - wonder where they dropped. Will try to get that done next week.

Also, there's a new article up about another Liaison Pilot at: http://www.lbirds.com/pilots.htm

Enjoy!

There is now also a Korean War version available for those who are interested. Would anyone be interested in a civilian glider tug version?
