Seth,

  Any idea what serial number it is? I wonder if it really is one of the
LAST Altairs. Steve Gabaly (sp?) is tracking the serial numbers and he says
that so far my altair has the latest number that he's aware of.

  Speaking of unfinished kits, I also have an unfinished Morton M-5 model
airplane radial engine from 1940.
