Jeff, it is just as I envisioned it after pouring over the Washichek blueprints of the mast myself to model this detail for the PT-157. I love the two verticle, bowed supports. When making the piece for the model, it was amazing how strong the mast becomes because of the bow. When many many not have known until they look at the blueprints is that the supports cross-section were shaped somewhat like an airfoil of airplane wing

I can stare at your drawings all day long.
When will the be able to rotate them and do 'fly-bys' with our mouse (jst kidding....sort of)

Happy 2013 everybody. However, if the world ends tomorrow, it's been good knowing ya all!

Very nice and informative review. Nice to see some extra parts like the mast included in the kit.

Cheers
