Academy's excellent Lightning done up in Richard Bong's "Marge" markings. The Marge portrait is actually a photo print of a copy of a copy of the real photo, not a decal. I did this for an article I wrote for FSM back in 1985 (oh, god don't tell me THAT WAS 30 YEARS AGO!). I made this model a couple of years back and hadn't photographed it until now. My bad!

I remember that FSM article, Paul. Still have that edition in the mag stash. This model looks real nice. Chris |

Same here. That was the year I first met you at the 85 IPMS/USA convention in Indy. |
