On the bench: A diorama to illustrate the crash of a Beech T-34B Mentor which I survived in 1962 (I'm using Minicraft's 1/48 model of the Mentor), and a Pegasus model of the submarine Nautilus of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas fame.

So how do you judge those of us who were/are Mustangs (enlisted to officer)? I started as a crew chief and then became a flyer. Best of both worlds!
