Here is a update of my modern fighter collection and more.
Enjoy.

This is a model done by Pacific Aircraft of my grandfathers PT-17

Here is the real deal.
 

George Preddy was......Just the greatest fighter pilot who ever squinted through a gunsight.
He was a complete fighter pilot.......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.

Some nice shots there JP, those patches add a lot to the presentation.

The Stearman looks great too! It's awesome you have such a personal piece in your collection.

Re: Modern Fighters collection & More

That's a great collection and impressive display you have there.

Is that a Witty stand for the Dragon Wolf Pack F-16C? I still not couldn't fit the pilot figure provided into my 2001 Tiger Meet F-16C. How did you do it?

Very nice collection!

I especially like the display of the FM F-4s!

BTW: What kind of medal is the one in the black box?

It's Germany's highest award during WW I, the Pour le Merite, otherwise known as the Blue Max. It was created in 1740 by Frederick the Great, who admired all things French!

Thanks Eddie!

As a german I should have known but I wasn't sure...

Hm, I think the idea with medals next to diecast models is a good one. I think I should dust off some old German ones I have and buy some American ones...

I am going to experiment on that...

Very nice collection JP! I have the 555th Triple Nickel Eagle logo in metal plate same size as your patch. Would you be interested?
