I wanted to share some pics of my display with the new Thomas Gunn F9F Panther model… It’s a stunner with the usual high level of craftsmanship! If the aircraft looks a little familiar, it’s in the markings of Lt. Burbacker’s aircraft from the film “The Bridges at Toko-Ri,” as is the title of my...
It looks like he’s wearing the standard USAAF A-4 Flight Suit that was used throughout WWII. Though classified as a summer flight suit, the wool gabardine construction made it suitable from year-round wear in the ETO. Pilots would often have a leather or insulated leather jacket on over the...
Poor Lancer… He kept waiting and waiting for John to release a new airplane for the WWI/KOTS range. Yet when push came to shove, John instead gave us a tent…

Seeing Mike97’s recent “France 1940” display with his First Legion Sd.Kfz 222 Armored Car (VEH009) inspired me to pull mine out again and display it a compact vignette with a couple figures and a lot of rubble… This is a great vehicle and I’m glad I got mine a few years ago before the model was...
