Great! (I am a bit jealous looking at your collection of prototype planes, Dave 😉 )

Robert, I actually got the idea for the U.S.Fighters collection back in the early '80s when I got the Lloyd S Jones book from a military book club I subscribed to (remember them? Book of the Month clubs?) I started collecting all the models I could, but I gave up in the early '90s because there were so many gaps. When the late '90s and the internet came along, it was suddenly much easier to find all of the garage businesses selling vacuform and resin kits, and I realized I could get a much more complete list. So I started collecting them again, waiting for the time when I was retired and had the time and display space to build & display them. Now, at 71, I've been retired for 15 Years, and I have ever decreasing time to get them built, so I've gone into high gear to get them done!

That's a great plan, Dave. I will keep my fingers crossed 🙂 I have a similar idea. After I got the book on X-planes, I want to build all of them - or at least all manned ones...
