Quite similar to the man himself!!
Pic didn't post Aros, I have an icon and the name'pappyome.jpg'
Nothing opens if I try to right click it and open.
Sure would like to see him!!

Better late than never, USPS! Pappy arrived safe and sound! Thank you again AkumaZeto for your incredible paint job! It looks just as impressive in person if not more so. Also thank you for the fantastic wrapping/packaging...You could have tossed the package off the back of a truck and played kick ball with it and it wouldn't have harmed Pappy!

[AkumaZeto]

You mean pass off as raf

[Grossman56]

No British pilot in 1/6 either, I'm wondering if I could fake an American 1/7 pilot....

[AkumaZeto]

They were my first thought as well, but no 1/7th British pilots, dang!!

1/6 would look the part better than the stocker.

[Aros]

Yeah no worries, I knew it was a risk sending it during the holidays. I can wait another few days or so...He's not scheduled for his first mission until Spring any ways. ;)

[AkumaZeto]

And to you! USPS has delayed Pappy...How dare they?? LOL

I asked if you wanted to wait until the season lol. Hope its ok. Status changed

Haha, maybe! Yeah check out Aces of Iron pilots...I don't recall the Spit scale offhand but they carry multiple sizes...Oh wait, I don't think they carry British WWII pilots...Hmmm

[Grossman56]

Hey Aros, he probably had to stop somewhere in Wyoming for a drink! Oh wait, that's not the 'real' Pappy??
Sure could have fooled me.
I'd love to find something like that for the 1600 mm Spitfire and have AK paint it for me, any suggestions??

Congrats AK on the phenomenal artistry and having your talent become a Sticky Topic on the Squawk's Classifieds :Cool:

[Aros]

Oh I will most definitely post photos both here and in my Corsair build thread when he's all ready in place. I also posted the photos with a link to this thread on FB using the "R/C Airplanes" page.

[AkumaZeto]

Please do post back pictures. I guess if there is enough eventually its own thread would be nice.

[Aros]

Mind. Blown. Such an amazing job, thank you so much!! I can't wait to show him off in his office!!

[AkumaZeto]

Here is the final figure. Now back to the 1/200 USS Arizona.
