Good stuff.

Seriously impressive work there, not only on the part of the writer but also the photo artist too.

Of course they HAD to release it on today of all days.  

Make sure you click on the Save the Strat program 'click here' right at the bottom for the final irony.......

On a more realistic note, a good read on the real world activity of stealing-someone-elses-airplanes is Red Eagles.

Superb!  Love the irony of the Strat turning up over Hanoi!  Fantastic!

You don't think they read some of rallymodeler's alt-histories, do you?

Actually, Greg wrote that; I just fired the idea into an already super-saturated solution and contributed illustrations.

But come to think of it, I've seen a lot of what I've come up with lately; CanMilAir has decal sets for a Canadian Maritime Patrol B-29, and someone did a Canadian Thud that bears a striking resemblance to the one I did in the profiles tutorial.

Ah, it's all good.

Yep, The Pink & The Black is a classic and an all time favourite.
One of these days I need to build Snook's Kingfisher.

Gotta love it:  "The RNAF Central Band, the only military marching band in the Commonwealth to feature the fiddle, spoons and the squeezebox, was in constant demand for parades and fleet blessings."
