Better is better
« on: June 05, 2013, 12:21:15 AM »
And since better is better nobody should ask for planes that aren't ... because.

All of these planes existed during World War II! They should be modeled so we
can hangar queen the others! Especially if they weren't made in the good ol'
U.S. of A! Commie Brits.







This could carry .. like ... 390 paratroopers. You know how many map rooms that is?!



This plane was super important.



But not as important as this one, because it didn't have a propeller and it's not a glider.



This plane flew in January 1945 off the U.S.S. Langra Sha doing secret missions against the Russians.

 :salute :salute :salute :salute :salute To Rear Captain Culpepper who made winning the war with
lasers possible.

(Eh, what the wishlist seems like from time to time.)  ;)

Wow, D-Day invasion stripes on an early-war USN paint scheme? I really wish the guys who restore these things would do more research before slapping paint on.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
