Christmas gift
« on: December 23, 2013, 08:41:02 AM »
Not an airplane model but it is aviation related and I'm pretty proud of how this project turned out.

I gave my son his Christmas present a few days early. A $30 used jacket on e-bay and a couple of repro patches and he has his own A-2 jacket with the markings from his great-grandpa's bomb group. Here he is standing next to my grand dad's original. We got him a set of gunner wings when I took him to see the Collings foundation B-24J last September.



Cheers!

Nicely done Poz. You've instilled respect for the past and Family in a brand new generation. Your Son will learn from this and your Grandfather will be long remembered. You should be proud; it's a class act! 8)
