Beauties.. all of them! Just to touch, stroke and feel their skins with hands ... Ehm, is it past 22:00 already ?

Amazing details Nik... You should post them to some plastic-kits modellers forums too....

Scary thing is, these pics are reduced 75%. You should see the originals.....GF unit put them on her big 24inch Imac as a slide show. Nice. Overpriced are those Apples....but nice displays!

I recognize most of the planes in the WW I and WW II rooms from the Champlain Collection. Though the Jenny without skin has belonged to the MoF for a long time.

BTW, the Collins Foundation B-24 and B-17 will be passing through the NW the next couple of weeks. 6/10-12 in Corvalis, OR, 6/12-15 in Hillsburo, OR, Seattle 6/19-22.

I wish i could say the same for the WWI types. Not as boned up on them as post WWI. I recognized the Sopwith Camel thx to Charles Schultz and Snoopy of course.

Thx for the tip on the 24/17 I got to tour them last year but didn't have a camera! This time i'll rectify that. I hear the MoF is restoring a B-29....viewed by apt only. Is that up in Everett?

I didn't look at the WW I stuff too much at Champlain, but I remember they had a lot of them. I recognize a few of them. I specifically remember most of the WW II aircraft in the pictures.

The MoF has had a B-29 for some time, but it was in poor condition. There are restoration facilities in Everett, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was up there. The last Boeing 307 was restored there and had a spectacular crash into Elliot Bay due to the crew not putting enough fuel in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_307

The MoF's B-17F was restored in Renton. I had an opportunity to work on it, but didn't. I wish I had now.

There is also a company up in Everett that is building brand new Me-262s. They restored the Marine Corps' 262 for static display about 10 years ago and they took the time to make a complete set of plans while they were at it. Since then they have built a handful of them. The planes are as authentic as possible, however the engines are more modern engines with special housings so you can't tell they aren't the original Jumos. They figured that reproducing the Jumos would not only be very expensive, but very unreliable too.
