Make sure your display case is big enough for all four! That would be a phenomenal treasure.  :D

Thanks, y'all!  I do have one, but we were at dad's and I didn't bring mine.  Hoping to see a fourth gen added to them one of these days.

You know what's missing? Your Corsair.

Modeling truly runs in your blood.

Amazing how you've been able to keep a kit that old intact.  My very first kit, now 32, needed complete restoration after the first 15 years.

That is a neat memory. I wish I had one like that.  :)

I've got other memories, but not this one. What a treasure!

My one and only number one favorite aircraft of all!  Isn't modeling just amazing when it can span time and at the same bring three generations together.  Congratulations on a job well done as well as sharing this family moment with FSM forum members the world over.

Dad's had that good old Testors brush paint job. Flew a lot of missions with her when I was a kid.

A couple of photos of my dad's and son's Corsairs that were built 40 years apart. Dad's is the Hawk kit and my son's is the Academy.
