Your build does two things to me. One, it motivates me to build some of the 32nd kits I have and pimp them out. And two, your level of work scares me to death and I feel I will never come near the level of detail and quality you have here, and that holds me back. Quite the spot I find myself in. Well done.!!

Thank you Carlos and Tom! Is that from the movie Empire of the Sun! I remember watching that in the theater... love the scene with the Mustangs strafing the camp! Horsepower!

Yes it is. One of my favorite films. The Mustang scene is indeed fantastic!

And imagine how gross that scene would have been using CGI. Long live real aircraft footage.

Yes indeed. Although there were some R/C large scale miniatures involved.
