Scott S-- Beautiful model matched only by the excellent story to go with it. Truly superior paint job and workmanship. Incredible detail work on the missles. WELL DONE! Fred Branyan

Stephen and Lyta As a long term B 17 student and grandfather to 3 boys, one girl, and 1 more girl on the way, I am always on the alert for B 17 models and anything built by a non adult. Although I am not impressed with the accuracy of the kit--obviously out of your control--I am most impressed by the work done on it by both of you especially Lyta. Had there been no description I would have assumed it was built completely by an adult with a lot of experience to deal with the kit malfunctions. Very well done, and I hope you keep an interest in our hobby and do many m

Hello Eric In Vietnam due to the fact Hueys etc. were green they were very hard to spot from fast movers and other high altitude machines. Even other choppers flying higher had a tough time finding friendly machines. I had that issue myself many times when joining other machines in the air or flying formation with a large herd of like machines .

Graham As an ex US Army helicopter pilot ( AH1G/OH6/OH58/UH1H) for over 20 years I think I know a superior helicopter model when I see one. I saw one when I saw yours today. Extremely well done. I noted with interest how the RAF painted one main rotor blade yellow. I have seen footage of Hueys in Vietnam with a single white blade but as far as I know it was never done again after that exercise. That practice made them real easy to spot from above. My compliments and I am glad your real experience had a happy ending courtesy of the RAF. Fred
