What a fabulous job Kevin Payne did on his RAREplane Learjet! It's been a long time since I've done a vac, but I remember how difficult they were to get them to look good. And I never got one to look THIS good! Great job, Kevin! Makes me want to reach into the box where that kit lies and . . . .

Is this THE Paul Boyer? Man, I've been a huge fan of your work ever since the 80s.

Um, uh . . . th- th- that would be me (doing my best Bob Newhart).

Seriously, great work on a difficult type of kit. At one time, I had a huge collection of RAREplanes vac kits, but over the years as the subjects were covered by injection-molded kit, I've either sold them off or tossed them. I hold myself responsible for the advent of the Academy KC-97 Stratofreighter family of kits. I had just completed the RAREplanes one for an airport display when Academy announced their kit. There's a Murphy's Modeling Law regarding that: Finish a difficult vac kit, and an injection-molded one will come out. Etc.
