I have seen the Dugan many times Shawn, it is a superb example of great restoration work.
I like to collect models that are resident in museums even if their wartime history is not significant.

Just my own personal viewpoint.

I'm trying to decide if I want to modify Michigan or Booby Trap to make Dugan. Of course I'd need help with the markings. I'm no good at making my own on a computer. Still Corgi does several Duxford examples, I think this would be a great late war bare metal ETO B-24.

It's a good reason - there is a lot more to a Warbird's history than its military record .

The efforts to preserve and restore a classic aircraft are in themselves a significant part of that particular aircraft's history and should be celebrated as such (another reason why Sentimental Journey is a great B17 - it was also a firefighter prior to its current career ).

Thanks for the info.
I was hoping that someone would have some new pictures of the minesweeper
With the higher prices I want to see what they actually look like and not the pre pros
MHackl used to post some nice pictures of the releases
