Picked one of them up and could not be happier. Great to see these kits from LOC Custom Engineering back out!

I wondered if you'd show up here, Jason!!!

If only we knew someone that had a fin pattern and had one of Ron's boat tails, maybe there'd be a chance for retro-repros! :wink:

And in one launch, there goes my motor budget for the foreseeable future....

Isn't that an old pml boat tail

Similar...but this one is actually wood, turned by Ron. I'll let you fondle it at the next TWA launch!

If Jay and Dave decide to reproduce this one, I'd bet that it will be cast in urethane (like PML) or fiber-infused resin. Time will tell.
