Here are a few pics of a model I have built for Toad's father, who was the pilot of this bird in WWII.

Just got home Nuke.

WOW![/size]

He is going to be SO suprised and so thrilled!

It looks GREAT!

He often does "living history" stuff about WW2 at the schools. What an addition to his presentation THIS will make!

Thanks  SO MUCH!

I really appreciate this.

Very nice... I wish I could build them like that.  Still trying to get good with my airbrush.

What kit is it?

Yah, Nuke... how did you DO that?

The panel lines, the mottled camo on the tail, the engine soot, etc.

I'd love to hear the details.

I just keep looking at the pics. He is going to be amazed and so happy!
