        There's a company in Texas was building seven of them on contracts
for museums - to flying standard :-) I guess if I had seventy thousand
dollars or however much they were charging (I'm probably out by an order
of magnitude) I cpuld think of a colour scheme for mine quite
easily... I'd have to wait for them to get the Fw.190s they were moving
onto after that out the way first, though.

        In fact, disloyal though it may be, I think I'd rather have the
Fw.190... Which is why I flagged this OFF :-) Yours,
                                                     Jon
