Default christmas comes early in NB?

tha's one pretty ship, painted or not!
...I like how the artist 'aluminized' your silver parts. ( on the plane!)

just need to add yourself into the painting? I hear a good artist can trim off 20 pounds, too!

Default This painting is really expansive

This chistmas gift is really expansive. My wife gave me this painting. I miss so much my Rv-7. I should never sold it. I's not that i don'T like my rv-10 but they have 2 different mission. To fly around and have fun... i need another 7. So i will think about it one or two more day and ...... i am really sure that i will order another rv-7 kit but keep the 10 too. I wil never be cure of this disease.

The plane's paint is great too, did you do that? I can see why you miss your -7A.

Great work!!

As far as being expensive, I'd say this artist's work should be. I can tell you from first hand experience, there was a lot of work that went into producing this piece! Plus, you'll have the painting to enjoy long after your flying days are through, that's when you'll appreciate its full value.

Your Wife done good!
