What a way to celebrate!  What fantastic builds of such infamous aircraft in paint schemes of the USA.  I congratulate you on a job well done!

Right up my alley, Darren! I think I have most of them in 1/72 scale -- still on decal sheets though. Love Bicentennial stuff!

The VX-4 jet is coming. Since it's such a unique airframe, I wanted to write an FSM article on it. There are lots of interesting things happening on that airframe.
