Nice setup, man! Will you have room in that cabinet if more BA birds come out?

Thanks Rush, if they build 'em, I'll buy 'em and find the space for them.

I just saw a Black G.I. JOE Blue Angel Pilot at a antique store in Fort Collins CO. Too bad I don't remember the name of the store there.

I used to have classic G.I. Joe Blue Angel figure at one point, then I sold it off when I got the Blue Angel figures by BBI ( see pic below ) when it came out a few years ago. The figure set you see below is much more realistic looking and very detailed.

Thanks FlyXwire. I never did get into 1/48. Grew up in a small house with limited personal space I guess. Back in the day and where I come from, Scotland, Airfix was the model of choice and scales pretty limited to 1/144 and 1/72. Anyway size limitations aside, the scale just became imprinted, now it's hard to think out of the box. I do, however, have a 1/18 F104, brought it home from my office recently, now I'm thinking of taking it back.

Looks like your prayers been answered, albeit coming from Corgi.

I'm not sure why, but to me he looks like a cross between Kyle Bush (NASCAR dweeb) and Pee Wee Herman.....Kinda freaks me out.

...a perfect example of "be careful what you pray for - you just might get it" if there ever was one
