Hee heeee, I hear 'ya 50th! I have to admit that some people carry it to amazing levels, considering how much time it takes to paint these, but I definitely think it's worth the effort. It is that elusive "time" thing that keeps me from going hog wild like some folks do, though. Let me also go on record in saying that, whereas I certainly agree with your point of certain era's being more colorful, there is still a lot to be said for the uniforms and camo patterns from, say, WWII. Even a mild camo paint job can elevate that piece from toy soldier status, to something a little more authentic.

eldurand, fabulous work there...I love the Corsair! I was hopeing to get a Corsair when I picked up my two issues of Game Trade Magazine, which I would have put Pappy Boyington's white arrow on the wing, but alas, I got two P-40's (but lucky for me in the end). I don't know if I ever mentioned it back over at DoW's site, but, I was very flattered that my Russian lend-lease inspired you to paint one of your own...that meant a lot to me! BTW, what paint did you use in painting them?
