Last year 4- 2011 I scratchbuilt the Kawanishi H8K2 Japanese "Emily". (Click my Avatar to find it) in My Blog. It was a 3 month project with plenty of interest..

This year, 2-2012, I have started the new build of the early version of the Martin Mars that had the twin rudder. I have the fuselage framing started. I am basing the model on Ivan Pettigrews plans.

The model will not be true scale as there are modifications on the plans that are not exact. I am going to divert from the plans some to use a mix of Depron foam and spruce wood and balsa also I am first going to upload some pictures and drawings and maybe some notes of this version Mars.
