| This is a really beautiful build! Sorry to hear about the Dumas closure. Did the Keil-Craft kits from the 1950's ever make it over here in the US? |

| me too Brian - I was going to work my way through their catalog one project at a time in my retirement - now what?
It's like that Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith. |

| I liked there kits. |

| I have built several Dumas aircraft kits and a few of their boats over the years. This news took me by complete surprise.
This is their Air Express and it is a terrific kit |

| Not sure if folks here are aware of the news but Dumas Products is closing down effective April 15 2026.
They will accept orders on remaining products until they are gone https://www.dumasproducts.com/ |

| Thanks guys - I appreciate the replies. Currently it hangs with the cowling removed. I think I agree (also the cowling could have turned out a bit better than it did...c'est la guerre |

| I agree with edbecky. If I spent that much time and effort on the engine I'd want it seen and appreciated. If the engine had turned out not-as-imagined you could have hidden it under that beautiful cowling and no one would have noticed when the rest of the model is as eye-catching as this one. |
| edbecky, Comment for image # 42131 | 22 May 20 10:36 |
| It looks great both ways but without we can see the detail you put into the engine. |
| heywooood, Comment for image # 42131 | 22 May 20 09:40 |
| Thank you, biplaneguy - the project was a real pleasure to work on.
I am wondering if folks have a preference with this aircraft - do you like the look of the Air Express with the cowling, or without it..? |
| biplane guy, Comment for image # 42131 | 21 May 20 07:48 |
| Wow! That is beautiful! Great job! |
| heywooood, Comment for image # 42149 | 12 May 20 23:46 |
| I dunno, Ed - the local museum to me is the San Diego Air & Space Museum and they have a very high standard. It would be a heartwarming surprise for me if they would even entertain the idea. I would just give it to them if I thought they would display it..they'd have to put up with me hanging around now and then of course..lol but I certainly appreciate your appraisal of the model. Thank You

| All I can say is to echo Don. WOW!
Are you planning to sell this to a museum? Seems like the quality is high enough! And a topic not many people try. Just outstanding. |
| heywooood, Comment for image # 42149 | 12 May 20 14:05 |
| thank you hijitman and Don - I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Air Express project and the result. I learned a lot about this Lockheed jewel along the way and have developed a profound regard for the entire Vega series of aircraft. A Golden Age cornerstone for sure |
| heywooood, Comment for image # 42149 | 12 May 20 13:56 |
| Thank You, Robert - I assumed it was meant as a compliment but one never knows for certain. You place me in good company - I have aspired to reach the DD level of artistry and ability but of course he keeps raising the bar..lol |
