I visited the American Air Power Museum on Long Island a number of years ago. They told of these women that would deliver the aircraft. (I'd never heard of them before!) Despite the fact that we were in a war, these women would face tremendous prejudice - including sugar put in their planes' fuel tanks!
My hat's off to them all. 👏

Fabulous, like all of the models that you have posted. I have loved all your past posts. I would love to see a series showing your work progressing, i.e., a beginning, middle and finished photo.

This model is exceptional. I used to leave my car models white and left glue on them...of course I was eight at the time. You do nice work.

This is so cool, love it.

Kiwis have an aviation hero Jean Batten first solo pilot UK to NZ etc and I think she wanted to be a ferry pilot, and applied but was rejected.
