  1. Tommy,

    Did you ever consider a monograph on the First Phantoms? I, for one, would find it fascinating.

  2. he's going to want to change the title of the thread, haha (my 1/72 XF4U-1 looks a lottttt different than his)

    geez, that is a good looking aircraft without all the "stuff" hanging down from it that got added later on, and without the broken nose

    I hope I get Sageburner built before he gets to it, otherwise there won't be much reason to build her (because his will look so much better than mine)
