I was flying Recon Delta

reading your Dear John in the plane

Viet Cong tracers went up

and the plane went down in flames.

Down in flames, down in front oh no, no...

Towers open fire, towers bring me down.
Towers open fire, break through in the gray room without a sound.

Metallic claws scratching at your window.

Do you see demons? Do you see angels?

Their lives are the same.

Does anybody want you, does anybody want you to bring me down?

Future primitives in the age of technology,

have you seen justice go begging from mansions
(https://i.postimg.cc/pX15Ldj3/RDT28-R-012.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
and does it make you feel less proud?

You left me once, you'll come back again.

The model is a modified 1/72 Heller T-28 Fennec with a P-47 cowl and prop.

Nice model, how do you get that effect on the canopy ?
cheers,
Robin.

The canopy was painted on the inside with Polly Scale RAAF Sky acrylic.
The model was brush-painted in acrylics and the decals were spares. The U.S. markings are so old they were probably made when I was busy spilling Cap'n Crunch all over the carpet.
I'm glad you liked this tribute to my old friend.
RIP Bob, your voice is missed.
