Ok Everyone, here are the last of the most recent builds for the past year. first a little back story.
The following P-51D and F-4C are from the 4th FG/TFW stationed at Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro N.C., I as a Kid grew up about 40 miles off the end of the runway of said Base. Before the supersonic laws the F-4s from there would hit Mach1 somewhere near my house and I use to wonder why it was thundering on a Clear Day. The 4th got its start at the beginning of WWII as the volunteer group EAGLE Squadron, when we (USA) entered the war in Dec 1941 they were designated the 4th FG, they still flew the venerable Spitfire until the P-47s and P-51s could be delivered. At one time Chuck Yeager commanded the 4th during the Korean war period.
The F-4J is here depicted as VMFA-333 (DN) from Beaufort S.C., though most often it is depicted as (AJ) from Cherry point N.C. Some time in the late 70's they were for a brief time stationed in Beaufort. This model was build for a local show (Virginia Shootout, Roanoke Va.) in their Reels Category 1970s. The Movie I chose was "The Great Santini" I have included a photo of Robert Duvall in front of said plane. This is the only photo I could find showing a F-4J and Duvall so I went with it.
Sadly where I live we can not get High Speed and have to suffer through Dial up. Since I had these already uploaded to photobucket I can post them rather quickly, as for viewing the other Great works posted here I will have to wait until tomorrow to view them as I will be at my store where we have broadband, so expect many comments to come on other post. I too will be posting in the Ship forum some of my Battle wagons I've built in the past if you would like to see them as well. Again Thanks for the warm welcome here and I am sure I can learn a lot from all of you and just Maybe I too can help some one along the way.
Enjoy!
