At that point I really didn't care what it was really. I just wanted that color...haha. I'm trying to run down a pic. It's packed away at the moment...but I know I have one somewhere.

There is a very tiny Spitfire (?), what scale is that ? Is it 1:144 and in that case the Mig must be 1:32 ?
Nevertheless, looks so tiny next to the giants next to it!

A good bunch of good looking works!

that little one is a P47. do you remember the bag full of airplanes they used to sell at the old five and dime stores ? (like the bag full of green army men), someone gave me a bunch of them years ago. not sure of the scale .
the models on the shelf are all 1/72 scale except the B17 on far left third shelf, it's 1/144 .
