No red or black paint chipping on mine, but she's brand spankin' new!

As for the tailplane surfaces, I have the earth AND green on all three upper tail section. I wonder if you got one that the painters forgot to paint a section. Believe me, it can happen. Last year, I got the Corgi P-40 Warhawk Flying Tigers, Robert Scott, Burma, "White 7". It took me a while of looking at it to figure what didn't look right. There was no "White 7" painted on the fuselage. Had to send it back for a replacement. Who knows, it coulda been "White 6" for all I know.

What decisions JPN?? Get 'em both you know ya wannna! You can never have enough Hurris but of course I might be a little biased in this area.

Yep I believe that's what happened. I've handled the plane, even have it flying formation with Bader's and never noticed until I pulled it of the shelf to check for the gun tapes.
Oh well, it's an easy fix.

Geez! Don't DO that to me! To make matters worse, I have display space for them both as well. Ya got any more gas to throw on the fire??!! (In the end, I likely will -- these are classics -- It's just I'm not looking forward to dealing with Perry's for the McKnight one.)

Well, it really isn't a matter of talking the wife into more space. Simply put, short of a move, there just isn't any! That said, the 'microscopic footprint' I have to display really just means I have to get clever in space use. At this writing, I do have space for another Hurricane (or perhaps that new Blenheim Mk IV coming soon?). I struggle with the variety issue too. What I REALLY need for this grouping (wanna see the photo again TN?) is an early war 2-engined light bomber, hence -- the Blenheim. (I'd really prefer a Mk I, but I can't even get the FROG* model for a decent price!)

Trivia question: FROG is an acronym. Anyone here know what it stands for? First caller with the right answer wins (bragging rights)! I'm sure Hornchurch, CC and a few others know this one -- it's easy!

The catapult is cleverly concealed into the wood grain! You better with the avatar now?

Fly Right Off (the) Ground = FROG !

(think we'll give the 'Bragging-Rights' a miss though, as I'm showing my age......)

There are a few IPMS shows comin' up J.P.N. where ya might just pick up a short-nosed Blenhiem (?)
