It's been a while since you posted pics of the P-39. I would like to see the progress you have made.

looks great! One question, though -- weren't Yeager's planes named "Glamorous Glennis?"

Thanks, only Yeager's X-1 was named Glamorous Glennis. T
His P-51s were Glamorous Glen I, II, and III. Airacobra- I will give an update on the P-39 soon, I have been working to redo the landing gear mechanism, and will post when I finish.

They all look great, but my personal favorite would be the P-51. Nice Job!! Are those decals or stencils?

Thanks! All of the number markings are stencils. The nose art/kill flags/signature are decals.
Razor- Here are some detail pics of the gun mounts and 7 tube rocket pods.

Correct me if I am wrong B-29, but I believe they are customs by Pickel.

All your repaints are great, I lean mostly towards WWII, but that Huey really is nice, wish I was better at painting I have a P-47 Razorback I would like to paint in a D-Day scheme.

It doesn't really matter, I'm not a rivet counter, not that there is anything wrong with that, its just I know my skills aren't good enough to ever try to be exact
I just like the D-Day stripes on the P-47's.
