      That is superb Nick. The planes are great models enhanced by very clever and effective presentation.

                    Lovely stuff there Nick :smiling3:
                    All looks good,but I particularly like the camo on that Mig,the greens blend very nicely
                    (P.S. we may all be seeing a modern version of that dogfight for real soon!!)

                          Nice that you built John Glenn's F-86F. Would they have those decals in 1/48?
