Somewhere in the Solomon Islands, Munda Point, New Georgia, perhaps:

I'm really impressed with the new Boyington set. Darned if the figure doesn't bear a nice resemblance to "Pappy:"

There's never been a better time to be a toy pilot collector!

Your color looks just like the 1940s technicolor featured in Life and Look during the war:salute:::salute:::salute:::salute::

Moe, is that a 1/48 HM 'Lulubelle'? It looks a lot like my 1/48 Franklin Mint 'Lulubelle'. -- Al

Hi Al,

Yeah, I guess that I'm busted.:wink2: It's HM diecast, but it's named "Lucybelle:"

I've got three L-belles, but this is the biggest (the other two are 1/72). If I want one in 1/32, I'll have to build it!

The figures and sign arrived, yesterday, along with JJ's Algy club-set.

Thanks fellas, but the credit has to go to KC for making such nice toy pilot figures!

Moe, another senior moment. I know it's Lucybelle, yet it came out Lulubelle. Go figure. At any rate, it is a fantastic dio. -- Al

Thanks Mike,

To tell you the truth, the pics doesn't do the backdrop complete justice. I've put a pretty tight focus on the figure sets to highlight the quality that's baked into them. In the process, the background came out kinda fuzzy. Here's another view with a broader focus:

See what I mean?

And a second question for Mike or anyone else...

The two landscapes that I've posted to this thread are both formatted to 1200 pixels wide. However, they are displaying considerably wider. Anyone know why, or, better yet, how to remedy the situation?

Thanks, Al, but there's no need to attribute the confusion to your always sober and mature nature.

Rather, Lulu v Lucy is at the heart of an ongoing dispute:

[wayne556517]

Brilliant mate like it a lot.

 

[WesternOutlaw]

That background is perfect - cool!

Don't know if anyone is interested in this, but here's the backdrop that I used with the new KC/AF sets:

Thanks for sharing Moe. If I ever delve into the War in the Pacific, I don't think I could find a better backdrop.

 

[Panzer ace]

This dio and corresponding photos are great. I saw the Boyington figure at Sierra yesterday and it is even better in person.

Forget the backdrop, I much prefer to have the real thing! Where is it and how much????
