Well Done!
Just came across this site during an image search for my Grandfather, Ernest K. Osher “Hawk”

He became an ‘Ace’ in “Sad Sack” in the North African theater.

He always said, '…there was something about “Sad Sack, she was ‘solid’, different than other Lightnings I flew, she was just put together RIGHT, smooth, precise…”

Very proud of my heritage and always yearned for the time to craft a model (static or R/C) that looks as good as your creation… WELL DONE!

Brian.
