Thank you Mike. First place was a beautifully detailed new tool 1/32 Heinkel Volksjäger. He fully deserved first. I think I have it linked here early in the thread.

Superb little dio. Hard to believe you didn't earn 1st place.

Thanks guys! This was a very happy ending for a long languishing shelf queen. Far better than I had hoped with all the NMF setbacks and speed bumps. 

Jay Jay, please do get your F-86 going again and share it here! There are never enough Sabres on here.

Yes, well all of those uncles were Army too Wink

 

Not in Korea. Uncle Jim was a blue suiter, not AAF like the others. And I believe his dad was both. It would be nice if the old bugger would come back aboard here.

His uncle Jim

 

 

 

Thats what I thought. And IIRC, his father flew Airacobras off of Guadalcanal with the 67th during the battle.

 

 

 

His uncle John.

 

And Mike's father was a pilot too, that's right.

 

Yes he came from a flyboy family, so it's funny he was an Army type. Wasnt  his daughter an Army chopper pilot?

Thank you PJ. Funny how your old boss and the pilot of the real Mig Mad Mavis shared variants of the same family name (not to mention the Stuka pilot). They are all perhaps related somewhere way back along the line from generations back. I did learn that this particular Ruddell at least made Colonel and commanded the 479th Fighter Wing when they had F-104s.

Well done stik. Had a hard time finding the issues till you pointed them out, no biggie and still looks great. Great touch with the multi color panel tone variation.

My boss last name at my first job right after high school was Rudel or Rudell and was a P-38 pilot in the Pacific. No relation to the name on yours since he never mentioned a family member as a Sabre pilot.

Really like that nice, very nicely presented. Even if not a dio, i much prefer aircraft at least on a base.and the equipment is a very nice extra touch.

Well done and very well deserved.

Thank you Griffin. I think the base took it up a notch or two compared to the basic finished aircraft.
