MMMMMM....Biplanes....(drooling Homer Simpson impression)

That is gorgeous.  Love the rigging!

Beautiful!  I've got a soft spot for yellow-wing USN biplanes!   I wish there was a more "mainstream" kit in 1/48 (Tamiya, Revell, AM, CA, Eduard, Hasegawa...), I don't yet have the skills to bash a Duck down to a FF1.  The FF1 was an important inter-war USN type but I guess not important enough.

Yup, those interwar colors may not have been very good camo, but they sure looked pretty. I'm going to build Trumpeter's 1/350 USS Lexington as USS Saratoga in the early to mid 1930s with lots of multi-hued bipes on deck.

That is sooooooo real!!!!

Hope you don't mind but I liked the model and pic so much I wanted to play around with your image a bit in Corel.  It is such an inviting scene!

That is such a fine job all the way around, Glenn.

Man, you are talented!

Bryan,

You'll be happy when I start printing my pictures from Udvar-Hazy.  They had an N3N "Yellow Peril"... on floats!  It was very cool.

Must admit I like that era a lot as well - right up to the Buffalo, great work by the way Glenn
