Small Scale Military Headquarters

Greetings:

This came over the Memorial Day Weekend from boardmember one-o-nine. I had wanted Pudgy for a long time and preferred this version. My dad was in the military and stationed at McGuire/Dix and I remember seeing the memorial with this plane many times. I also have gone to most of the McGuire AFB airshows since I was a young kid. I only live an hour and a half away from the base, so I've been there many times and I always thought that memorial was cool!

Finally got it upacked after returning from an airshow. What a terrific plane! Very nicely painted and very sharp. It's the centerpiece in my collection for the time being. It's a decent representation of the P-38. I had the original D-Day one many years ago, never liked it. This one is so much better.

I greatly thank one-o-nine for trading with me. I'm very glad I could work out an even P-38 swap with another boardmember. Your Cal Cutie is in route by the way. Great model! Love it!

Makes me want to unpack mine....

Always good to hear when someone gets something that's meaningful to them. Great to see board members helping each other out, I'm expecting a very important package myself thanks to a boardmember.

Pudgy is a great looking airplane and it looks really nice sitting there in line with the Wine, Women and Song and the Cal Cutie!

You can send me one too and I will appreciate it even more than him.

It's the one P-38 I have and for the same reason, Corey. I grew up in NJ, visiting McGuire AFB many times. Glad you finally got one.
