I'd say they are the best range in my collection.

It looked to me like the antenna on the first mustang--"Bald Eagle"-- was inserted by the factory upside down. I pulled it out , drilled a small hole in the base, put in a thin bit of brass rod, and inserted the antenna on the plane with the thick part resting on the fuselage. It looks fine now. As for the colors on "Bald Eagle", there is a debate concerning the use of two separate shades of olive drab or green.So far, I'm not sure that this has been resolved.
