Hello again everyone,

Part 2 of my Hangar18 trip... Bryan is restoring a model that a pilot built of his plane, which he was later killed in a training crash. His daughter has been the keeper of the kit over the years and over time has lost a few pieces and fallen into neglect.

What Bryan is looking for per his email:

The parts I am in desperate search of are F9F-6 or F9F-8 Cougar horizontal stabilizers. I could also use the complete gear set for it. Unfortunately after closer inspection, you were right. This is either an odd scale or a box scale kit and not truly 1/48. My guess is that it is roughly 1/56, so matching this up may be nearly impossible.

Everything looks great on the IPMS website. The listing is accurate. Thanks for the exposure!

Thanks, see you on Sunday.
