Aviation Archive collection. Very fine, well painted model, and the landing gear fits perfectly.

Battle of the Stand. I was afraid this very heavy model would fall off its very inadequate stand. The plane kept tilting farther and farther forward on the stand, so I cut off the old mounting collar and created a new collar using some bits and pieces from around the house.

Aviation Archive collection. Excellent model, though probably not the most attractive color scheme. Well worth getting.

One of the really nice things about this model is the new, neat, and necessary heavy-duty made-just-for-Thunderbolts stand. Thank you, Corgi!

Aviation Archive collection. Darker medium blue color not quite as attractive as AA33008 on the previous page, but still a very good, well constructed model, and well worth getting.

Aviation Archive collection. Very good reproduction, excellent paint job.

Picture imperfect. This one was tough to photograph because of the shiny paint job. Pilots in the ETO were known to have their mounts waxed to get a little more speed out of them. I had three photo sessions with this one and am still not satisfied.
