Randy...love this one...you chose the perfect backdrop...I'm not a big fan of the "black and whites"...but this one is an exception in my book...it's perfect...

Amazing what can be accomplished with two simple figures and a nice backdrop. It is a great little dio that tells a HUGE story. -- Larry

Great photo Randy. Being a collector of WWII AF it's nice to see some displayed, and the B-17 in the background really adds realism to the shot.

Great pic, really enjoyed it. {bravo}} Those USAAF aluminum birds sure are something to see. Hopefully we'll see some more models released over the coming years.

Thank you all very much! I have always loved the subject of the WWII USAAC/USAAF and went to many air shows over the years and was was able to interview a number of the veterans for an academic project in the 1980s including Paul Tibbetts about his experiences flying with the Mighty 8th and the 97th BG before he switched to B-29s and the Pacific. So these figures have given me a chance to try to recreate some of that history.
