One of the best obit's I ever saw! We model people. We have been acquainted for 30+ years in some cases, but can we truly claim to know one another well? It is a shame that we just gloss over the surface with some people we call "Friend".

Well, that was just cool! Academy should see an increase in demand for their nice 1/72 scale B-17D "The Swoose" kit!

Your Mustang is a beauty! Well done, indeed!
