Very nice Av-nut.
It`s always great to see period aircraft with the colourfull livery on them.

Great work indeed with the decals & diplay too.

Hey Flpickupman, I know it`s not your ambush colour. Though camo`s where used,s what`s to say somewhere out there during WWII there wasn`t a Pak 40 crew who didn`t have it on?

I`m glad you made up that camo instead of searching & copying. After all Not all camo`s used by the German`s conformed with a standard type.

Powerteam have done M16A2s though as you know they are hit n miss on how rigid they are.
As for M16/203s I`d say check the Hasbro Joe line up (ARAH).

Alternatively you could custom make your own using various brands to get the Accurate size.

Again very nice Bar.

The fighter actually (to me) has a mix of Macross & Stargate for some reason.

I do like it though. So how easy do you think that cockpit might be to convert for the 4" Joes instead of the 2.5 it`s intended for?

That looks splendid with the repaint. I`d say having a couple of hanging Swastika flags on the building though will truely round out that display piece.
