He's the guy who made the 50's Aussie Red 'Roo and Standard RAF roundels for my BBI Aussie 'stang. (Yeah, I know, the fuselage codes are wrong, my choice for simplicity sake.) He found the photo that showed that the Aussie 'stangs had standard RAF roundels on the wings. He's also working on the Alge...

Real nice, I envy the collection you must have!!

Thinking about the seller, for all we know it could be the former owner of 21c. In case it is keep the return address, etc, to provide some provenance for this.

Great site, thanks for sharing it!!

Not quite OT, but I think this one is in Free French markings from the '44 uprising.

what's wrong with the white? Very typical of navy planes in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. I would have preferred white undersides to this oddball scheme. Nothing wrong with the white at all. If Admiral can release their SPAD, I believe we'll see it. I only mentioned it since the scheme that they'v...

Thanks for digging up more info, this seems like more of a winner to me all the time.

Finding one of the few aircraft that's hi-viz without all the white and doesn't replicate the scheme that BBI's jets have took some effort on JSI's part.

I'm surprised to see a VF-84 Jolly Roger from the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT. After THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, it's almost ingrained in my mind that VF-84 F-14s are from the NIMITZ. Either way, the JSI F-14 looks good. Now I'm hoping for a JSI F-15E Strike Eagle from the 4th TFW. I hadn't noticed that until ...

It's BBI's Aussie exclusive. They made both the camo and NMF versions. Don't remember the exact numbers made, but it was something like 300 of each.

Great 'ski!! One of the most memorable p-47's and you've done it great justice. Thanks for the photo of the early 'stang also. Not to carp it's great work, but you've manage to provide a perspective that settles a bother I've had with it. See the following site. http://www.airplane-pictures.net/imag...

Corey and PH, I admire the courage you've both shown by making this public. The garbage mod I'd received was very much a buyer beware.

I kinda hate to say this, but it does show parity with my experience with them since and prior to when they'd found out that I'd been the one to get their 'stang that was offered on ebay a year or so ago. I'd actually only bid on it to begin with due to feedback on his works I'd seen from this forum...

Quite alright, I've both Airstrikes Series 1 Corsair and Skyworks razorback 'stang. The 'stang was on EBay before he became Skyworks.

The Royal Navy Corsair is by far my favorite.

They are awesome!!! I've their #5 Series 1 Corsair and it still holds pride of place. I'm currently eagerly awaiting the release of the French F4U-7. Just a shame that 21c and others tried to shut them down. Didn't work, they only repaint BBI stuff.

Which one did you order?
