"...you build aircraft too..." Somebody(s) need to "peal the onion" a bit more.

Well, I certainly wasn't surprised at your talent! I remember you building other subjects in the past, all the way back to that 120mm Nebelwerfer! :yipee

It's just that I haven't seen you build anything but motorcycles in awhile!

Just goes to show I should never stereotype anybody!

Yes, it was a "cover" article for Military Modelling Magazine.

The Display for the San Antonio Show was without the figure vignette.
A few people at the show also asked me about the figure.
My idea was to enter the "Scratch-built" aircraft category with out the figure placed next to the aircraft.
No posible distraction and total visuals on the aircraft.
That days stratagy worked, I believe, with winning 1st Pace in the category.

Thank you for asking.
