this is a really beautiful model. thank you. now i want to get on the net and find out about Aleutian Tiger unit(s). Man - that's the trap of the forum for me - i learn about so many interesting planes/units/events - that i end up spending hours a week researching and reading and browsing the histories...

anyway - gorgeous plane.

Thanks Mike and rds1 !

Mike - good to "see" you again ! I've got a website now (still under construction in parts), so you can see anything you may have missed: http://www.pix.prettyneatinc.com/

rds1 - the people who flew, maintained, and supported the aircraft in the Aleutians during WW II went through a lot of hardships. I have a documentary on tape that shows their living conditions and weather "occurrances." When you see what they went without, it makes you appreciate what you take for granted.

Thanks again !
