Easy choice for me: The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.

The F-14 is my favorite but since that's been taken I'll go with the X-29

P-51 Voodoo Reno LINK


That's a little different than the training wheels flights the restored 51's do at air shows.

The kit is in a garage in Louisiana. I am not there at the moment.

If you can post a throwaway email and delete after I see it, I would ship it to you. I no longer build military stuff.
