So will HJGB be coming to a secret site in SA for the secret owner after Reno? Can we see the two together at Reno?

For a minute there, I thought you may have been talking about Sabredriver/HGUSCU/Wxlova/Wixlova's latest incarnation :D :D :D

Cheers,

I'm very near HJGB now. I'll be here for a couple of days. If you guys have any requests, I'll try to get a picture of it today or tommorrow and post them when I get back home.

Suprise us! :lol: 8)

I would like to see a close up of the invasion stripes paint over the stenciling that someone mentioned a couple weeks ago as an example to the level of detail it was finished to.

if they have the same judge that said the Corsair was the wrong shade of blue, then they might have trouble winning.

Here's a shot courtesy of Chuck Wahl's phone. We're up here for a week packing up Chuck's next project. Probably leaving tommorrow, so now's the time to get the pic request in. :D

You know that's kind of funny. I love Marine's Dream. It is one of my favorite flying Corsairs. I love the real VMF-214 Marines Dream. Ray's Corsair has the wrong three tone scheme for MD, as well as the wrong side number painted on it. She is still a beauty though.
