I haven't heard of John having a new fuselage until the post up above. It would seem strange to me, that he would keep the A-36 wing with the big divebrake holes. Easy enough to skin over I guess but what about the gun bays? Either way I don't understand his whole way of thinking behind it. Sure he wants a B model but it is an A-36!!!!!

I guess the quickest way for us to figure out which is which, is to have Ryan K. call Dan down in Florida and ask him what he built from scratch. I saw a picture of the fuselage a long time ago and I was told that the fuselage was being built brand new. To mix things up, I've also heard that everything was being built new. However, I wouldn't take that into account simply because it is not something that sounds reasonable to me.

I have one more question for Ryan K. Please tell me why the Corsair isn't getting the radome again??? I have a bone to pick about that. The radome alone, is what distinguished that Corsair from EVERY other example flying and it needs to be back on the wing. I may be wrong about this but based on Gary's pics on the website, she doesn't appear to be getting it this time around. I know Rob lost it in the crash but still.....people are building brand new Mustangs for peet sake!!!

OK, enough rambling. We'll get to the bottom of this A-36 issue soon I hope. I have been wanting to know since I was 13. I'm 19 now.
