Rickenbacker gave Richard Bong a case of Scotch for breaking his record .Think your case would be in post .

[Morris]

Thank you sir, - weather the landing gear some using the famous pic as a guide sort of....

[Mark]

Lovely work Morris. Fantastic job on the figure too

[Morris]

Thanks Mark, just waiting a LF prop to be delivered and the Spad can go on the Shelf....on the figure, I had to change the boots, add the medal and 'enhance' the face painting a bit to match photos of Rickenbacker closer

[Morris]

Completed pictures - thanks for looking
