:bow: Soooooo beautiful! :wub:

But you know you just have to build a second one. As a high-speed photo recon aircraft.  :party:

True, but everyone would assume it's a Hughes XF-12. Or was it the XF-11? Whichever...

Wow, Alvis.  Breathtaking.  And more than a little scary.  Especially from the business end.  You are a very talented modeler in every respect.   :bow:

But I'm not used to seeing models from you which have no plastic fruit or novelties involved!    :lol:

The P-38 is one of my all time favorite planes and you have taken it to a new level.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
