The jag is fantastic.

Nice to see some more of your models!! I love the moon bat!!!!

who is manufacturer?

The Jag was the Airfix kit in 1/72. The XP-67 Moonbat is the resin kit from Anigrand, also in 1/72. It is currently available from Anigrand, or from Nostalgic Plastic. A really good kit.

Here are a few more what ifs, including a DO-335 used by the Marines!!

Good grief Tigercat! That's a heck of a collection you've got there. Love the USMC Pfiel especially.

Nice work, Wes ! That Yankee jag is just the thing...to bad it didn't happen, as maybe the Yanks would have been smart enough to keep theirs flying !

Archie, that was a Canadian Jag, not American !

Holy cow, Wes, you've got some absolute stunners on your shelf!

Brian,

Thanks for the complement; I never thought of them as "stunners", just models that were fun to build, with a few What-ifs thrown in.

Here are a few more

A few F-8s, with some USAF birds thrown in. The F-8 was so good that the USAF should have purchased several squadrons, IMHO, but that was just not done (except for the F-4 and A-7) 40 years ago.

That P-38 is very cool, Wes! I'm not sure whose markings it's wearing but at first glance I thought it had Spanish roundels. This made me remember the story about a Spanish He-112 shooting down a U.S. P-38 that accidentally strayed over Spanish Morocco. It would be interesting to see instead an He-112 in U.S. markings and a P-38 in Spanish ones.

I can't get enough of your pics! I'm enoying them immensely.

How the heck do you keep them so dust free, it must take hours to go around all of them.

Never mind! I have to admit that the Jag look good in every camo and markings

Thanks for all the complements. They are not dust free at all; it just looks that way. In fact that is a source of a few "discussions" with the wife, she does not like all the dust.

The markings on the P-38 are totally ficticious; I used the basic roundel from one of the "Roundels of the world" sheets from Zotz decals, and the little thingy in the middle (some sort of multi-pointed design) was from the spares box; don't remember at all which countries they were from, but it looked good, and that counts for a lot in the What if world!!
