Several, makes it more interesting

Posted by Allan Plumb on May 9, 2022, 21:36:34, in reply to "Ever build a kit as a special memorial gift to a friend or relative?"

-- FM-2 Wildcat 1/48 for a friend whose father flew them off USS Hoggatt Bay (and an incomplete H.B. but I haven't told him about that yet).
-- USS Trathen 1/350 for a friend whose father served aboard her in the 1950's. Lots of scratch work, fortunately detailed plans were available on-line.

-- And for myself, an F-15A 1/48 with the missile and markings of the one that tested an ASM-135 ASAT missile. Because the sole US ASAT test atomized STP 78-1 Solwind, a satellite I supported for launch and early life in the 70's.
