Karim,
Thanks, sir! I appreciate that very much. I may have mentioned that the MiG-31 is my favorite plane. I have temporarily halted the collecting of more small military items (with the exception of the items from Mr. Schuster.) If I ever start buying lots again, I will save mini planes for you.
Take care. I hope you are well in the new year.
Scott
PS I found Mi-26s on Shapeways.... More Russian stuff!
