Your model turned out so beautifully, Ken. What a great project to see on your shelf in its place of honor. The highest praise requires some superlatives—fidelity to source as well as execution of all the details by you are both off the charts. I also appreciate the way you embrace using the torn edge of backdrop paper as a design element. Aesthetically, this all feels “of a piece” with the other design elements as well as your personal perspective on war machines and their operators. I was researching Galland’s book and thinking of how it felt for him to fly in combat—and you caught his spirit here. Well done!

Thank you so much Bruce for your thoughts, advice, and support along the way with this one. Most especially the Labor of Love you put into helping me with those crosses. I sincerely appreciate it. This project wouldn’t have been why it is now without the help you gave me. Many, many thanks for your time and generosity with that. And thank you for the good word here. There’s not a single thing I’d change about this. It ended up fitting my vision exactly as I intended and I appreciate your speaking to that. Thank you!

Superb finish, Kenny. I have the CH E-3 and I think I did a big fubar and hosed it up so I put it on the shelf. What kit is this one?
