Got an Email from AM today - announcing a new kit of an F2G Corsair in
racing livery.

Nothing as to whether this is a rebox of someone else's kit or a new
mould from AM??

Does anyone have any more info?

My money is that it is a repop of the Special Hobby kit!

Cool, looking forward to that! They also included the P-400 (Eduard
kit?) in the e-mail, too.

They have details of both kits on their website:

There's one of those F2Gs down at the Fargo Air Museum, 100 miles from
where I am.
It's the last one in flyable condition.

The one in Seattle, that was acquired from the Champlin collection
several years ago, may be airworthy. Most of Champlin's stuff was.
Still, it's a pretty rare bird.

I wish that Seattle's Museum of Flight had a Hellcat instead; it would
make more sense. We've already got an F4U that was fished out of Lake
Washingtion. It's not only more significant; it's got northwest ties.
Apparently there are a LOT of navy aircraft on the bottom of Lake
Washington.
