This is all kinds of awesome!!  :wub: :wub: :wub:

Plus I love the way the organization's initials spell "whif", as well as the registration "VH-WIF"!

Truly one of the best projects I've seen in a while, and a sure favorite for the 2012 Whiffies...  :thumbsup:

Figures are a combination from Fujimi, Hasgawa & Preiser packs (pilot is Frankenwhiffed from 3 different figures) ordered from the UK (can't remember where - not the big H) & HobbyLink Japan.

Preiser - Civil Airliner Personnel.....(UK)
Preiser - US Air Force (unpainted).....(UK)
Hasegawa - US Pilot / Ground Crew Set.....(HLJ)
Fujimi - Fire Engine & Flight Deck crews (one figure Frankenwhiffed but, in the end, not used).....(HLJ)

Thanks Guy, I've a couple of projects up-coming where some figures would make it look better I think.

No worries, mate! :thumbsup:

I find figures give a sense of scale & purpose to my builds.

WOW! That's incredibly incredulous :thumbsup:
I am as they say; Gobsmacked  :blink: at the finished product!  :bow:
An absolutely splendid job.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Thanks, TallEng! :bow:
