Very nice!  I can imagine it with a flight line and backdrop as a photo taken by Life Magazine or by one of his fellow pilots to be sent home to family.  Do you intend to put together a flight line scene and base? 

All the best,

Dan

"any thing in the hobby world was there"

Thanks Crown. Yes they had everything and anything for our hobby. I enjoyed talking with Pat, Gary Cruz and Charlie. That was one great store.

Nice jug and figure Crown. Here are a couple of shots of my 1/48 Sea Fury done in Alclad. This was in the first batch of Sea Furies Batista got in early 1958.  Did you ever go to Orange Blossom Hobbies on 36 St? That was my hangout for eons till they went belly up.

Very nice model! Cuban. right? Where did you get the markings?

I think that Corsair is to die for...

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
