I don't know if you ever heard the accounts of making the film and filming the flying scenes, but this part was my favorite, about dogfighting with the "Zeros" (Texans): LINK: The Final Countdown (1980) | Behind the Scenes
Just love the movie! (being a former flight deck guy, it brings me back a little bit!)
I have been working on this model since 1981, and I stopped at about 95% complete back then...I have hauled it with me through many moves, but never broke any parts off until about a week ago...:) This was one of my "retirement goals" to finish it!
