Thanks, guys.  I made decals on my ALPS printer, and used the very nice Eduard PE set and the Legend resin avionics bay.

By the way, about that fly.  I missed it because it is in a "No Fly Zone".  Could only have been there for a second or two.  Here's the next shot in sequence.......Whistling [:-^]

Everything is just outstanding, It is a beautiful mix between aircraft and gound support equipment. Very nicely done.

C'mon, John, just admit that you scratch built that fly in 1:1 scale and tossed it in there to see if it was passable for the real thing. And that you have a 1:10,000,000,000 planet that you also scratch built that is going to be in a huge dio where the huge flys invade the planet and eat all the Gutage race, grinding there bones for their bread.

We see how ya are!Whistling [:-^]Laugh [(-D]

Seriously though, that is some nice work. Makes me wish I had the room and the ability to build dios.

I built that one as well, back in the 80s I think, when I ht a "jet-phrase" that started with Monogram's release of the F-86 (I wanted to model all of the aircraft-types Dad flew during his career... Turned out he never flew the Voodoo (he was a Phatom Phlyer at that time) but did take a few hack flights in the back seat of an RF-101 when we were at Bergstrom AFB, I'd just assumed he did. Shoulda asked...) Yours is WAY better than mine ever was, lol.. You did a truly outstanding job, especially displaying it with all the other "stuff"

Even up against the Phantom, that airplane is BIG... Dad said about it, "It wasn't just big, it was seriously big..."

The fly could have been taxiing out to the runway for takeoff.   Whistling [:-^]
