Just posting this because of the recent activity with the Jim Walker models here. These were in my photo archives from back in 2016..

I would love to find one of those roddie. Looks like something Robert would do. Nicely pressented with polished prop and accessories.

I inserted above (in red text) a weblink to some info. on Johnny Knepper. It states that the twin was never kitted.. unfortunately. The webpage also shows a Firebaby "Super Stunter" by Billy McDow.. which is equally gorgeous.. IMHO

That twin is pretty cool with its polished out metal parts!!…..

This Firebaby is on the bay right now…. Fairly low starting price but didn’t sell first time around so it’s listed again a little lower……Probably not original but has a nice narrow nose Bee on it to boot….. Kind of a beater but might could be had for a reasonable price …. I actually like the well used patina on it….Missing the canopy but one can be made from a soap bottle…. Photo below is a homemade canopy I tried on mine…

That twin looks fun. I have a Firebaby Biplane in a box that I need to put together. But I need to find the NOS firewall that I bought off of eBay to replace the missing one, and I have no idea where I put it when i was packing to move.
