In modeling, it becomes quickly apparent when talent and hard work have merged. The results are always head and shoulders above the crowd. A model designed by a talented and hardworking individual and constructed by a talented and hardworking individual is sure to become a classic, against which all other models of its type are measured. In the February issue of this year, I presented Thomas Designs newest kit, the T-50/UC-78 twin, familiarly known as the Bamboo Bomber, and famous as a military light transport ship. The new kit was over four years in development by the talented Greg Thomas and resulted in arguably the most complex, most complete, and admittedly most expensive rubber powered scale airplane ever offered to the modeling public. With a limited kit run of only 20 initial kits, we've all watched with great interest as Greg began distribution of the model and its 1400 plus laser-cut wood parts, precision vacu-formed cowling, fairings, engine details, canopy/windshield, and a myriad number of detail components.
