Will be looking forward to seeing it complete. Always liked nose art on planes.

I like the WWII art, too...should look great. Off topic: Speaking of that guy being good, I do believe that Richard Bong was the top fighter ace of WWII (or at least one of them), so he was better than good! I also think I remember a story about him doing a loop around the Golden Gate bridge.

I love WWII history, especially air war. As a kid I built a model of just about every US fighter (and several other non-US planes) as well as several of the bombers and transports.

Off to google Bong and catch up...

I live just across the bridge from the Richard I. Bong Memorial WWII Heritage Center Center. Its a great tribute to great pilot and hero. Anyway, I love WWII nose art also. My dad was a WWII vet. Can't wait to see your tank Muddyape.
