  2. Allan, it isn't often we get to see an RAAF Lightning. Beautifully done! You have quite the theme collection of RAAF aircraft. Real surprise, there! Keep up the good work!

  3. Tell me, Allan...have you ever built anything straight outta the box without any "modifications"...? lol

  4. Nice work, Allan.
