I guess that I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have made mistakes and ommisions but as a old IPMS friend said (as he carried off the 1st place trophy): "It's just a silly model airplane".

The aerodynamically superb air scoop is tweaked a tad.

The air scoop is securely held in place with a bungee made from some elastic chord. Two faux turn buckles inserted into the engine pit wall, hold the bungee in place. I would not be surprised if the real BE12a used a similar method.

Third time was the charm for the air scoop. The first fabrication utilized card stock, the second sheet styrene. The third and, fortunately, final attempt Al roof flashing....Bingo...success! I added a patina to eliminate the annoying glare.

A great example of a hellcat I built. The painting was really hard but I pulled it off!

Being true to his word my little pal, our little friend, Gumby, departed this day. With his worldly necessities in his little travel package he is off to lands south of the border. Mexico is his destination. He believes that employment there is easy to find, due to the vast numbers of illegal immigrants traveling north.
