Before I started working in metal I was a modeler particularly scale aircraft.
Three birds in particular the F4, the P47, and the Spitfire. I was good'nuff on the 109's.
One day I was stuck on what squadron I was going to paint in on an F4.
so I smoothed the pillions and painted it Candy Apple Red on top and Polished aluminum on the bottom.
Sneeked it in to the shop and hung it in the middle of the WW2 display at 12-O-clock High
A long time ago
