Wow! Some unusual models there, I like the first two especially.

[JayBee]

Wow, Wow, Wow. 

Tom what was the basis for the F-100? I seam to remember a kit, Otaki I think, that was dreadful.

You caught me! 
I couldn't find a kit of the F-100 and F-106 so they are F-Toys ready made models.

I've got a Revell 106 in the stash.

What are the XB-55 and 59 from ? Love those !

Excellent work there Tom.
Not criticising your work but the Mig 29 just looks wrong to me in NMF with stars & bars.
The Boeing EX is great.
Be prepared for questions from our resident troll...

The USA did test a MiG-29 and supposedly is was designated F-118. However I couldn't find any pics or descriptions of how it looked.
So I have no idea if that one accurate in natural metal or not.

I'm not aware of there being a MiG-19 in U.S. markings? I'll have to look that up. But for those wondering why the MiGs are the way they are, I'm guessing it's because of this, right?

There's two books which I already have that discusses secret MiG exploitation in the U.S. :

I also have plans to create a special "American MiG" model display. I'll be working on mine sometime soon, maybe next week.
