While not a facial expression expert, I certainly see, not only joy, but pride in his expression. It's hard to 'squeeze' emotions out of us ol-timers, but you certainly have. Thanks for doing this.

Great stuff Terry. Nice to see a model end up in appreciative hands. Mine will be landfill some day.

Airframes · Jul 8, 2021

Thanks chaps.
I'd like to think that my daughters will either retain some of my models, or donate them to museums that may have a use for them, once I'm planted with the daisies.

Her we have so many models and so few relevant museums.

My daughters plan on selling all the kits that I have not gotten around to build. Somewhere around 100 1/48 aircraft kits. I will not take inquires about my stash just now , as I am not dead and they are mine!

Thanks Paul, and great to see you back - and alive, with kits !!!!
