So yesterday I finally got the base finished...with a signature! I ordered a book, and the man himself signed some cards I'd e-mailed; they arived printed out and slipped inside the cover:
I'm two chapters into the book - very good. Anyone interested can read the first few pages here:

Pic on the book cover is a P51D. What happened there?I'm two chapters into the book - very good. Anyone interested can read the first few pages here:

Before the P-51's there was also a P-39 'Old Crow', and later an F-105D known as "Old Crow II" which he flew in Vietnam.

Doc
I mean the list of models you have with your posts at BM
This should be on the top, because the result is mega-relevant.All signed for you.
I see. I like it because of the story and the signature, but it's technically not my best model. He actually signed about 16 of those cards in different pen colours and line weights, so I could choose the one I liked best (I only asked for one, but that's his own attention to detail showing I suppose). I guess I could build a few more of his aircraft if I trimmed the aircraft names off.that's just one of them

So despite the hiccups you must be very proud of that, to my untrained eyes, it's wonderful! I'm two chapters into the book - very good. Anyone interested can read the first few pages here:

I really do appreciate the positive comments. I am happy with the overall result!
It's a shame that I don't seem to get time to do enough modelling to remember my mistakes from previous builds. This is one reason I like to document things on threads like this even though it doesn't always work. I remembered too late the Academy Thunderjet with again had hopeless decals and I needed to source another set. I should hae remembered that episode and learned from it.

I'm not sure what I find more fascinating, the model, the story/the man or the fact this thread is ten years old and most of us are still here chatting to each other!
The fact it's 10 years old is pretty sobering. It doesn't seem that long ago.That's the sound of your life whizzing by
