Hey, Chris! Hope all turns out well. Get some plastic therapy to help.

:hmm: So what do I need now...

T-33, F-86, F-86D and a F-89 - then I should have all the pre Century series jets... well the USAF ones anyway.

Nice acquisitions. Not sure I included that Italeri RF-84 in my cool box are thread or not, but I should have. I have that kit in my stash as well.
P-59 box are is pretty cool as well.

Thanks Chris!

I'd agree with that, especially the RF-84 - It's a great bit of art.

Nice scores! I do love the RF-84. It pointed the way to the next Republic Thunderbird.

Thanks Carlos! Me too! It definitely has a mini-Thunderchief vibe about it I agree.
