  1. Glad to hear that others share my experience with Great Models. In my opinion they are to be reviled for selling to the crowd at a trade show and neglecting their pre orders. I ordered a month and a half ago and paid by instant transfer through Pay Pal. I called this AM and they tried to assure me that those items sold at Anaheim went to those who had placed pre-orders. Give me a break please! On the upbeat, I ordered a P-39 from Sprue Brrothers and was informed that it shipped two hours after the sale. The UPS trackers state that it should arrive tomorrow. Imagine that ! Quick professional service with an electronic smile. I, for one, will no longer patronize Great Models and place my enthuaistic endorsement to Sprue Brothers. Caveat emptor.
  2. I see many sources saying unequivocally the the P-47 was called the "Jug" because its outline resembles a milk jug. As an ex Fairchild Republic test crew I was always told the British called the plane a "Juggernaut" and the yanks shortened it to "Jug" The milk jug analogy stretches the point a bit. No fighter pilot I ever knew would refer to his mount as a milk jug. Looking for opinions and validation. Not trying to cause a ruckus.
