That's really nice John, the base & ground crew really set it off.

Excellent work from a pretty basic kit. I've had my eye on the USAAF crew myself to liven up the odd build, and this has convinced me. Lovely base too - did it start life as a picture frame, by any chance?

John, super work. An old kit has turned into a fabulous looking model. Love the base and presentation, I think the figures bring the scene to life. Was the Bell P-39 Q name plate in the kit or is that home made?
