    Hump do you have original of this photo? It would make awesome desktop background. It kinda reminds of fuel dumping F-111's, those could ignite dumped fuel with afterburner, neat trick at air shows. Those Hornets imply that USN isn't too consistent in paint schemes as quite many of those don't have normal subdued gray markings.

    Cornerstone, awesome pics.

    Nektarios are those your models? Looks nice. I used to have that Revell Enterprise when I was kid, back then it came with Vietnam era to mid 70's planes, tons of Phantoms and Skyhawks plus couple Vigilantes.

    Yes they are. The Enterprise you see is the old Revell kit upgraded with the use of several aftermarket parts and some scratchbuilding.
