I thank you for posting these pictures.

I wanted to show you the vast and complete
collection of these models.

We are currently thinking of going to DC,
probably about 2 weeks, possibly next
April or so. Thanks for more inspiration.

I understand
they are preserved in a nitrogen atmosphere. I had some of these and
watched helplessly as they deteriorated with age..

Really?
I did not know that was much of a problem.

I've some plastic models from 45 years back,
kind'a seem ok still to me. ??

These Cruver WW2 ID Models have an early type of black plastic that
deteriorates with time.
Do not neglect the new NASM out near Dulles Airport/Manassas and the new
National Museum of the Marine Corps just south of D.C at Quantico. I served
in the Marines and will be posting pictures from both places 'eventually' I
am currently fixing them and the fotos I took down at Dayton at the Air
Force Museum in July - when we aren't camping ((-; ..
This is the "Enola Gay" at the new NASM "Udvar-Hazy" near Manassas.
