Very nice Jose. Nice photography. What type of groundwork did you use? Wingman out.

Jose, STUNNING job!!! The photographs are outstanding as well! The ONLY "nitpick" I have is that (in my opinion) you sanded the tread on the main wheels too much. I know you have to do that in order to hide the seam, but maybe get a set of resin wheels and replace them? That's the only thing I noticed on an absolutely otherwise brilliant job!

Oh, and Aleksey......the pilot was Don Gentile of the 4th Fighter Group.
