Very nicely done, Messeresch! I worked on the G-models in Thailand in 69 and you've certainly captured the look and feel of the aircraft as they were then... although they were a lot dirtier underneath :)/>.

Good job!

You make me feel nervous striker8241, and thanks for your words, I feel the same, maybe more dirtier could be a more realistic "Thud", but I feel ok with the final result, regards!
