Hey Don, absolutely COOL site. I hadn't thought about those WWII fighters in many years. As a nerdy kid I built many models of these sensational planes. Remember Monogram? I'd say though, if an SVX were an airplane it'd be a Vought F4U Corsair. Goofy windows - goofy wings, but with a purpose. Read the text. Thanks for leading me to this gem of a site. Sorry - no puns this time. Ron.
