Scott Smith Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Interesting timing. I’m building a Fisher 1/32 kit right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Boyer Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 My absolute favorite airplane - for no good reason. I just like it. Imagine what it could have been if better engines came along in time. Here's my take: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Krol Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) Love your Cutlass Paul. If they could have waited and put a couple of J57's in it, the Cutlass would have been bad a**. Edited June 26 by Jon Krol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabrejet Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Now showing as October, according to an Amazon update I just received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyK Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 The Crecy link doesn't seem to work, not even the main site... On another note, how is Al's restoration project coming along? Will we really see a flying Cutlass? J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Incaroad Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Paul, I agree with "I just like it!" Is a cool looking Jet for sure, and your VF-111 livery is stunning! Now along the same lines for better engines how about a better coupling clutch system for the A2D-1 Skyshark. That would have been the Spad everyone would want! Brutal in looks and likely would have been a PHANTASTIC close air support weapon! We can only wish at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It started out as a significant redo of Ginter's book but the more Al Casby got involved, it got too big (380 pages) with too much color for Steve.

Al thinks that his involvement in the book has delayed the first flight of his Cutlass for about a year but he will be retiring soon from American and the book is almost done (we started reviewing the proof today), so it's probably going to happen.

habu2 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I thought Crecey did a good job on Baker's Saturn 1B book after Haynes stopped printing and dropped it. I love Ginter's books but the Crecy group seems more "professional" wrt print and binding quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just bought the Ginter book based on correspondence I've had with Casby. Nice guy. Until your post, I wasn't sure if this was the Ginter book he said he was working on. Thanks for the clarification that there isn't suddenly two new Cutlass books out there. Since Casby is involved in this book I'll be buying it. You might consider purchasing it from David Doyle books...if he stocks it. He usually has some sort of discount and it's good to support a nice small business guy.

Almost like they should be able to go into Space & underwater Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
