Head banging we do, but that dancing we don't - and no putting my face on that photo- however one or two burning Tigers or Panthers placed on those other photos would look good!!

Agree with Mike that first pic is really good, at a glance could definatly be mistaken for the real thing. Is the "bubble canopy" an option yet?

[Ken Bones]

The Bubble canopy IS an option, but I am also sure that Willis Warbirds will confirm.

I always remember watching ' Saving Private Ryan' and listening to them say 'P51 tankbusters'.
Bollocks................RAF Typhoon's saved the day in Normandy.
Never ceases to amaze me how the Yanks will re-write history to suit themselves.
Its almost as if the Canadians, Brits, NZ and Oz were'nt there.
I met some of those pilots in the 1990's, I have nothing but respect for what they achieved in the name of freedom.
