Very cool will enjoy watching.

I read an article about a P-51 from El Salvador was shot down by a Honduran Corsair during the 1969 Soccer Wars.

Was it this one:
The Soccer War

Soto's Corsair still exists:

Note that it is missing the starboard aileron and has damage to the starboard elevator as well:

Got some fancy seatbelts for this. Looks like it has some wood decals too

Just a heads up Jeff, the belts can end up being a bit on the long side. Factor that in and play with the length a bit before making them a final length. Other than that, I like the HGW belts a lot more than the photo etch belts that everyone else does.

I ordered this two days before the Russo-Ukraine mess. I thought I was out, well it showed up on Monday!

Now for the really funny part, since I thought for sure I would never see the Quinta order. I Bought a Red Fox version.

Both side by side

Not sure which one I will use yet.
