Hey all,

I want wanted to announce that Herpa has used one of my images on their

Herpa 1:400 United Airlines Boeing 757-200 with Winglets
Item Number: 562003

It's supposed to be a limited 1,000 model production. I think they run $30-35.

If any of you would like me to sign your model box, the appraised value of the model and box is over $1,000. :wink:

I get my models from here. They are a very reasonable source, honest straight players.

Congrats Mario, I was excited when it happened to me. It was sorta fun being at AI2008 in DFW and seeing the little model box with my photo and name on it.

Again Congrats
