I would like to commemorate the magnificent achievements of this man. If John doesn't mind, I'd also like to build an X-15, if I can get one of course.

Regards

Tony

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.

I very much like the idea. I will certainly follow along, and if you need an extra person (and the timeline is long enough. July 20, maybe?) then I'm sure I can come up with something.

I would be doing the Revell LEM moon landing diorama kit by the way.

Sure, an F9F-2 would do the trick. Revell and Hobby Boss make a couple of nice ones.
