Fermis, Great as usual.  I nominate you for one of them there FSM stickers you've been asking about.  You know someone had commented that  they were happy that you didn't paint Snow White pink, But the lighting in your last completed pics seems to give a pinkish tint to the old girl.  Funny Huh?   Rick.

Thanks everybody!Toast

I know it seemed fast, but it took me two whole weeks....at that rate, I'll only finish 26 this yearSad.

Manny, I posted my "year in review" (all 39 of em!) along with the others in the "general discussion" hooch. (pg. 6 or 7 IIRC)

No joy on locating that year in review thread....

Two whole weeks, well that different lol.

You must have a hell of a lot of time on your hands that all i can say. If i could build that fast, and to that standard, i would sonn bring my stash down.

Well done again.

Amazing job on this, both inside and out. And quickly done at that.

As i understand it, all US aircraft operating from N Africa carried the British style fin flashes. This included the aircraft from the 8th that took part in the Polesti raid. I don't know the reason behind the flashes though.

Very snazzy.  I like it very much.  (I've seen B-25's with the fin flash as well)

At least its not a tail-sitter...

Nice shades!  Glad you didn't go "pink" like you see with a lot of these Ploesti bombers...
