Today was a good day for suprises... I just got a rather large box from someone with a kit in it. A Hasegawa F-4B in 1/72 :big_eyes:

I have an idea who sent it & why...
I also got an envelope with some SPADS in 1/350th :cool_2:

Yeah, That really was a suprise since Spads were very prominent on the Ranger during the time I plan to do her in. Dieter Dengler's Spad will be done for sure :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks Red :thumbs_up_1:
