Thanks boys. I think the typo in my headline must be a Freudian slip, as this model has definitely given me hell more than once trying to get it right.

Kurt,
Looks great!
WW2 aircraft is a lot harder to build. It is more fun to fly them. I don't like WW1 aircraft all that much. BTW, did you ever build the Red Baron's tri-plane? I love watching the Blue Max movie and I think they used the Red Baron's tri-plane in that movie.

Thanks all.
You bet Andrew, much more to detail and better documentation. And no, I never did a triplane. I wanted to fill the gaps in WWI aircraft so I stayed away from those that already had decent models. Still looking to fill the few gaps, now in WWII.
I finished up the drop tank and bomb racks tonight. I was able to get them set up as .dp add on ordinance thanks to some directions from Oglivie.
Cheers,
Captain Kurt

Nice rack!!!
Wow, that looks great!
Kurt,
I hope that you are not planning to build a P-47D. I am getting one close to finish. I have just sent the aircraft to UncleTgt, he is going to paint a few more schemes. I am hoping to have it finished by mid-July. I have these two aircraft on my short list (Corsair and Ki-43). I am not certain when I will start building them.
I am not trying to steal your show. Here is a sneak photo of the aircraft. I hope people are not offended by the nose art.

Good looking "Jug". Anxious for Captain Kurt's Hellcat!
A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - American
Description: Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat
Direct replacement for the stock CFS2 Hellcat - uses M$oft stock bombs and rockets, and no unit markings.
Simple, rugged, and deadly, yet easy to fly, the Hellcat was another product of the Grumman Iron Works. It was larger, heavier, faster, and more powerful than Grumman's F4F Wildcat, and the first American fighter to exceed the performance of the Mitsubishi Zero. Its immense 18-cylinder, 2,000 horsepower radial engine gave it the power to dictate the terms of engagement. Its speed, maneuverability, high-altitude capability, and typical Grumman toughness made it a winner against all comers.

Hi Captain Kurt, Thank you for an excellent Aircraft. The panel is a Very good one far better than the atrocious one that came with the Microsoft Aircraft. It was nearly as bad as their P-38 Lightnings panel; Which you thankfully corrected.
Please keep up the good work !!
Thanks again,
Regards,
