Oh, and who's Robert Viles? I don't know the name....
This turned out very well despite the kits age Stuart.

I'm with Mark on wondering where you got the background and who is Robert Viles? :hmm:

That’s the funny thing about official names versus crew nicknames. The crew names usually end up sticking. BUFF & SLUF as opposed to Stratofortress and Corsair II, or Bone & Thunderbolt compared to Lancer & Warthog. I’m curious if the F-35 will generate such a nickname… :hmm:

I think it's Panther or more likely Fat Amy.
