Kermit and the glowing B17

"we are not flying representations of museum exibits and airshow stars, we are flying representations of planes that lived in dirt, flew through hell everyday, and barely had time for repair, re-fueling and re-arming between days. "



i agree ,, but there is also room for new /well maintained planes too ...

I'm greedy I like the best of bolth worlds .  Shinny and new to pick up chicks in .... and worn and beat up ... to pick up the rest of the chicks in

This particular profile was a factory-fresh plane, hence the light weathering. It was painted right out of the factory and the photos I used were "new" photos. It served about 4-5 months before being shot down, but I didn't know what other markings it would have picked up over this time so I made it "new" (and mentioned this to HTC when I submitted it).


Still fiddling with stuff on it, haven't had much time lately. No significant results yet.
