Grumman Sabrecat Mk. II; "C-3M"/JZ931 of 800 NAS, FAA; Trimcomalee, May '45

I see what you mean about the distortion at the front of the canopy now, but I wouldn't have unless you'd pointed it out. 

My Bearcat's engine was sawn off just slightly more forward than yours I think so I didn't get the pinched effect but then had to insert a big wedge at the rear of the Sabre cowling. I'm just getting to the end of the PSR (thank goodness!) on mine so once I have some primer on it I'll post some more piccies.

Glad to see you used 20 mm Hispanos from a Hurricane, that's exactly what I was thinking of doing now that the native 50s have snapped off. I'm still toying with the idea of a couple of Vickers 40 mms under-wing too, one burst from them would guarantee sinking most of the Japanese escorts and do serious damage to many of the heavy units too.

actually, that nomination would have to include a LOT of people who took part in this mini group build?
Thanks a lot, anyway - I am looking forward for PR19_kit's "version" of things... 

You built it. You came up with all the details. You made the story. You photographed it. OK, you got some inspiration from others - and acknowledged that -  but the final result is all yours.

... definitely looking forward to see how PR19_kit's turns out.
