Set back to work on the P-38 and it's coming along nicely. The reviews about the fit are spot on, amazing kit. It calls for Italian Red for the spinners, tail and wing tips. Just so happens I had left over touch up from the Alfa. 2 or 3 more days and it should be finished.

I mated the body to the chassis and it was too high in the front ,so I adjusted the stance.

Graf Zeppelin 
The, keelboat, sailed worldwide and also in the Olympic games since 1967. The original boat was designed
by J Soling 50 Class is a small-scale version (50 inches long) of the Olympic Soling three-person, 27 foot,
3 manan Herman Linge of Oslo, Norway in 1964. The name "Soling" was a word coined by Linge.
In 1970, John & Laurie Converse, owners of Vortex Model Engineering saw a full sized Soling and
developed and manufactured the radio-controlled model sailboat. It started out as the Soling M Class
(Marblehead) and in 1972 it dominated the Marblehead Class ACCR 50/800 class. By 1975 the fleet grew
into it's own class, called the Soling O/D (One Design) and it's logo the Greek letter 'Omega' was
authorized by the original designer Jan Linge.
Today, the Soling 50 is one of 27 different classes and sizes of sailboats sanctioned by the national
American Model Yacht Association and has very active fleets racing in California, Florida, Michigan and
Texas and has individual boats scattered all over the U.S. The Soling 50 hulls are identical to the original
Vortex hulls and are currently available from three (3) different suppliers in the U.S.
The Soling 50 Class is an AMYA one-design cloat. It is a great starter boat, easily transported with
detachable sail rig weighing a minimum of 17 lbs. Radiass bo equipment is an inexpensive 2 or 3 channel
surface radio. The Soling 50 Class offers close and competitive sailing in moderate and stiff winds. It acts
and feels closer to a full-sized boat than most other R/C model yachts.
The three (3) class-approved manufacturers for Soling 50 hulls:
Ludwig Mfg., Universal City, TX (http://www.ludwigrcyachts.com/)
GRP Model Yachts, Freedom, CA (http://modelyachting.com/)
Hartman Model Boats, Bergen, NY (http://www.hartmanmodelboats.com/)

a 85 year old guy gave me 7 rockets he built 40 years ago. I started on this Delta II.... filled in dents, repainted, but cannot find any decals for it. also need to find someone who can 3D print 8 engine nozzles, and cut some fins out of clear polycarbonate sheet.

No engines at all. It has 3 3/8th inch ball bearings for front weight. One in the nose and 2 where the engines would be. The only plane I have with open covers is a Trumpeter ME 262 and only because the fit of parts was garbage.

Yes could be a problem,at least the case can be made that due to the age of the tooling,fit would suffer on my Monogram P-38.
