Holding my breath as this took 7 months to make ( Phillipines factory issues ) and I will not have it till tomorrow...here is an FB2. The stock photos do not show the matte spray applied yet. It is 1/30 scale and will hold 2 pilots made for me by Jim Elsey.. Michael

Reality check was that it cost me $300.00 which includes shipping. I love Tom Gunn's stuff, but the prices put me off. There are so many factories out there making this stuff, I was bound to find one that could match their quality at much less. This was my 3rd outfit as most others can only do glossy blobs of minimalist details. Michael

From the looks of that Brisfit, which to me appears accurate and well done, I think $300 is a steal of a deal. Fantastic get. -- Al

Finally recieved my BF2. had to modify some of it ( factory error ), placed my pilot/gunner ( cast and painted by Jim Elsey ,Mr. Toy Army Workshop ). Some bad photos and comments. Took MyMahoganymodels over 7 months and 2 redos to make this. It is well detailed, properly painted to my specs. They messed up gunner cockpit by not drilling deep enough for gunner and placing machine gun to block placement of gunner. I had to remove gun, redrill hole, paint black and then build new ring mount for machine gun. Everything else was fine..Am looking at a new factory as we speak to see if they can do same quality ,at close enough price, in much less time..Michael
