This is an attractive aircraft. I'll have to look into getting a 1/72 scale kit....

Hey Duke, If you find the Italeri 1/72 model and decide to build the C/D model, maybe I could con you out of the A model wing tips, I need them to build a 'Soccer War' Cavalier Mustang

No worries Shane, I'd be thrilled to pass them on to you. Unfortunately, it'll probably be a while before I ever get one; funds being what they are...

You’re doing just fine so far. I don’t think you’ll need much luck to keep up the good work.
