A really interesting project of an incident I'd never heard of before with two fantastic looking builds. Really top work Nathan 👍

Woohoo, when the Scorpion got done I thought the Hellcat will be little more than a back-row extra, but boy, did that greasy old witch turned out great. Like an old sea dog in a tarnished coat vs a fresh ensign just out of Annapolis in his Diner dress uniform... who´s got the better story to tell... 😄
Great topic and excellent execution, was a pleasure to follow 👍

Thank you so much James & Slavo! I'm very humbled by your kind comments. Side note: My wife is asking why I'm strutting around the house with my chest pushed out ?
This was a thoroughly enjoyable dual build. Actually the most fun I've had in a while. I hope everyone else enjoys it as well.

An orange plane in the sky would be pretty easy to spot. I guess they had no intention of sneaking up on anyone. Nice build. 🙂

Wonderful, two perfectly made models, the colors are a work of art better than Van Goch 👍

Great job Nathan 👍 The orange makes the Hellcat actually quiet an appealing plane 😉

Thank you Dutch! ?
If we could get a nearby show around here, I'd be happy to bring them out.

Thank you very much Patryk!
Bossy: Yes I'd need to find a pilot with a "disappointed" look and create one large crater.

I'm honestly overwhelmed by the response to these builds. I had a great time researching and building them. I'm very happy all of you have enjoyed them too.

Both planes look stunning, Nathan. 👍
I got very fond memories of building that Scorpion together with my grandpa when I was a kid. I think it was him who got me started with scale models back then.
Thanks for making me remember 🙂

Thanks Roland, Alec, Clifford, Dutch, Robin & Michael! This was my most fulfilling project I've yet done. I think Robin said it best as that old F-89 kit brought back many good memories. I finally got the F-89C kit as well and am looking forward to building it soon.
