Gunner, have I ever told you I (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this)... envy everything you have! :D

Time for you to find that T-38 (#1 of course) model now and later on add the F-100D in Slot with the sooted tail... That would be a nice Diamond "on display".

Speaking of wooden models...
I saw these guys at Aviation Nation in Nov.

They'll make a Thunderbird with YOUR name on it... very cool !!

The folks at http://www.warplanes.com will put your name on the jet also, about a 90 day turn around. As a matter of fact, if it flys, and you have a photo, they will custom make any aircraft you desire. :D

Totally awesome Gunner. The aircraft heights work out perfectly with that coin box. Great Job! :D

I'll have to look those guys up, they look to do fine work.

Wow Gunner. Very lucky man. Love the F-16 cockpit. Was that a kit? If so do you know how to obtain it? That'd be great thanks. And love the models very realistic. Great setup!

For info on Gunner's pit, please see his thread in the Pit Builders forum and the thread about Stang's F-16 Aces II Seat Kit Blowout Sale.

These wooden airplanes are Mahogany models. The link to the site has been posted several times in this thread already, but here it is again:

The pictures of these models are great. I want to share one which is not yet posted here and this is the F-35 in the Thunderbird scheme. This model is 9 inches in length and if you are interested in a bigger size, get in touch.

This is posted at www.woodenscalemodels.com

Thanks!
